Why Would You Want To Put A Part On Your Truck That Makes It Smoke. Your Just Wasting Fuel. I Dont Understand? Sure My Truck Has Smoked Before, And When I Get It Back Next Week It Will Probably Be Able To Smoke Like A Coal Fed Locomotive. But I Would Never Buy A Part That Just Makes Your Truck Smoke.

either way buying parts or twisting wires to produce cluouds of smoke. Pump up your enging and you will be able to blow smoke and for a good reason you have power.

The ECU severely limits the fuel under 1800 rpm's and 12 psi of boost and most boxes respect that and don't fuel hard down low. This is just a cheap effective way to spool the turbo faster and get things rolling quicker.
With stock fueling there is not a lot of smoke and the turbo defintely spools faster and the truck moves better. With fueling enhancements it can get quite smokey but a little care will limit smoke.

Ok so i tried this little mod out last night and it worked, sorta. The smoke would roll and i was giddy, riding around blowing clouds, then i pulled back in the driveway to show my wife, popped it in neutral and hit it a little. The truck shot to 3600 rpms, and stayed there with my foot off the pedal for about 3 seconds. I tired it again and the same thing happened.
I shut the truck off, then later came back out and cranked it up. Had a CEL on and the code was p 0236. I backed out of the driveway, hit the pedal, almost no power, maybe 1/4 of its regular power. So i unplugged my new smoke mod, drove around a little, then the power came back after about 5 minutes. Hooked the wire back up, smokin again and running strong. I went to sleep happy.
This morning, no power, still has the CEL on. unplugged the wire, power comes back. Drive down the road, hook the wire back up, had smoke and power for about 3 minutes and then back to 1/4 power mode.
When the mod is turned on, my boost gauge reads 39 psi at idle, in fact, all the time. I thought this was weird but it could make sense, because all this mod does is fool the map sensor into thinking it has full boost....
Any ideas on whats going on?

Jumping the wire without limiting the voltage will set this code and put the ECU into limp mode. The voltage needs to be limited to about 4 volts to keep the ECU happy.

Sounds like a bunch of silly non sense. Theres actually someone talking about how there programmer is working but not with the smoke opiton on. He keeps trying to get it run with the smoke setting even though your blowing codes. I think this hilarious. If my truck would have lots of power and no smoke I would be so happy. Cleaning up smoke=Gaining power

kyle, are you sure that you are hooked to the dark blue wire and not the light blue one? the gauge reading high is because it is getting its signal from the map wire you are jumping to full boost. i dont know if it will work properly with an xzt, i know it works great with the standard and race boxes. minehas been on 2 months and no trouble at all.

Yeah, i thought i read that the red wire in the quad wire harness was only 5 volts.....is that too much?

Yep, im definetly hooked to the darker of the two blue wires. Is 39 PSI the limit that the factory map sensor can see? That seems to me like it would be the only reason for my recon to read 39psi.
And thanks for the help guys. Maybe Quad will check in on this thread and have an idea what is going on with my xzt.

MAP Sensor can only read 38-40psi, any value higher is beyond the limits. There might be something different between the Recon and the Commander electronically, but to read beyond the 40 limit of the sensor suggest either a sensor that is slightly more capable or a calibration of the sensor that is higher (if it can be calibrated). Electronics can be exact, that said, only in rocket science applications. Variables in circuitry CAN be pretty broad.
