Pre-boost power lull.... what can fix it?
So the one thing I want to clear up with my truck for now is the pre-boost lull I get. No matter if i'm just cruising around, or from a roll on and punch it I can fell the lull. It's more noticable if ur cruising with no boost then floor it and I get about 2 seconds of thick smoke then of course power and boost (6psi +) kicks in. Thats expected with spool time and a 14cm exhaust housing, but I also want better response when i'm just cruising with traffic and want that right off throttle pull, and general pre-boost power like if I didn't have a turbo and wanted power from the start. I have everything full forward.
The one thing I haven't upgraded are injectors, and i have a feeling thats the one thing that REALLY affects pre-boost power, right? Because i've tried all sorts of afc settings and didn't really notice anything different except some smoke. So with my setup and a stock hx35 and 14cm exhaust housing, what would be the best injectors to go with for a real step up but not overboard to where i have to be on the egt gauge all day? Thanks

Yea you definetly need more fuel I can tell you this the more fuel you through in the mix the more power Up to a point that is once you run out of air then you run into egt temp issues,ask me how I know....

I'd say the lull was about the same with the stock dv's, the 181's did give more bottom end, but that upgrade wore off quickly, lol. It's hard to say, but I bet with the mods I have its like a stock 215 pump power, or alittle more.
It's fine if I roll into the throttle, thats how I usually drive, but it's the times in traffic where people slow down then speed up. I don't have the time to get into alot of boost, thats where I want more off idle power. So I was thinking DDP stage 2 or 3's, not sure though. Or some new era's, i'm just a injector newbie so I guess i'll hit the search for awhile.

If he's already getting thick smoke, how would more fuel help at all?
I can't see how larger injectors would help a bit. I'd think that AFC tuning and/or plate positioning is what needs to be done.
But I'm a 24V guy that doesn't know much about 12Vs at all.
