new edge jammer bb install
I finished the install on my new 06 2500 last night. I spoke with Edge many times before making the purchase, and they stated the only diff between the 05 and 06 as far as the install goes is the down pipe and a slight mod that will need to be made.
The prob is the air management sensor that came off the factory turbo. There is no location on the jammer to install this. The check engine light is on (no kidding) and I assume the computer is not able to track boost into the engine. This seems to be causing the motor to lean (I assume) because when I test drove it without the sensor pluged in it ran very poor. Did I not recieve a part I was suppost to that would allow me to use the one tapped hole in the new turbo (currently too small to acomodate the sensor) that currently has a brass plug in it, or is Edge off their rocker telling me this turbo would go wright on with no issues.
Note: NO DESTRUCTIONS INCLUDED, THIS WAS SAID TO BE A STRAIGHT FORWARD INSTALL WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS NEEDED.

Got some info, and been educated a little. The item that was screwed into the factory turbo was just a switch that when the computer tells it, it opens and sends boost to the waste gate. This in turn releases boost out the exhaust. It is not needed on the jammer turbo, BUT you do need to plug it back into the factory harness in order to prevent throwing the check engine light. The motor is fairly serious about the plug, because if that air managment switch is not pluged in, the motor goes into a safety mode. This is corrected by just pluging the switch back into the line and simpley seting it out of the way. (then you must get the code cleared!!!)
Also, if you want to see any real preformance gains from this mod, you will most definetly need an aftermarket programmer of some sort. Otherwise you will have a real cool turbo sound, with a real slow truck.
