    how do I find a boost leak?

    I was running Matt's SRL and changed back to stock to tow my travel trailer this weekend. On the stock turbo I would see 28psi or so when pulling the trailer (usually right before downshifting). This weekend I only saw about 20psi.

    how do I find a boost leak?

    I like the dieselsite tool! Seems kind of spendy, but if it solves my problem, then I guess it was worth it. Maybe I could sell it to someone else afterward and get some money back. As far as hearing the boost leak, no, I cannot hear anything. I talked to Adrian about my symptoms since...

    tool needed in Ft. Worth

    Anyone in Ft. Worth (preferable the west side) have a contraption to help me find a boost leak? I've heard of people building a cap or some sort to put over the turbo inlet to pressurize the system and then use soap/water to find the leak. Anyhow, figured this is worth a shot.

    how do I find a boost leak?

    I think I have a boost leak that is keeping me from realizing the full potential of my new MTW stage 1 turbo. I'm only seeing ~20psi with stock tuning, my EGTs are 200 degrees higher than the stock turbo, and the truck just doesn't have the expected seat of the pants performance increase. How...

    Looking to improve ride quality

    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on Icon springs for the front, and the Firestone R4 Tech kit for the rear. It's probably overkill, but I've been eyeing this system for a year now and am finally ready to pull the trigger. Hopefully I get the same results as a few other folks on this board...

    Tailgate fitment question**

    An '05 F150 tailgate will not work, but '07-'04 will. That doesn't matter to the OP though because they are literally the same as the tailgates on your '03 SuperDuty. If you want the emblem in the middle, you have to use an '08 and up SuperDuty tailgate.

    New turbo mod looks very promising:

    So this mod is not applicable for Stage 1's? I hope not, because I hate it when I buy a product and then it instantly gets updated!!! ;)

    Looking to add trutracs need some input

    If I was changing gears, I'd definitely spring for the Trutrac at the same time. It will only cost more time/money if you want to go back and do it later.

    Looking to add trutracs need some input

    I put a Trutrac in the rear of my 2006 about 6 months ago and have been pleased. I no longer spin a single wheel when the pavement is wet. I haven't noticed much difference off road, but I have been off the road very little since then. I also have one in the front of my '86 Chevy and have...

    Best tunes for MTW Stage 1?

    Howdy everyone - I just installed an MTW Stage 1 on my truck and am wondering what tunes everyone is running for these turbos. I have stock injectors and TTY headbolts. I'm currently running Gearhead's SRL and have been pleased with it thus far. It runs good with the MTW, but the EGTs are...

    Ready to order Stage 1 MTW turbo, what should I do at the same time?

    Well, after 5 weeks of waiting, my turbo is finally supposed to be here tomorrow. All along, I wanted to get it before a road trip that I had planned for this coming weekend, so it's technically working out, but it's dang sure cutting it close. Now I need to figure out how to go about doing the...

    Finish on KR steering wheel

    Mine is cracking on the top and I have been wondering the same thing... $200 isn't terrible, but what exactly is the dealer return network? Also, how do you go about replacing the steering wheel since it has an airbag, etc?

    You gotta get in line! My turbo is on order and will hopefully be here in the next week! :gun:

    Ready to order Stage 1 MTW turbo, what should I do at the same time?

    Not located in College Station (graduated in 2003). Standpipes and dummy plugs were replaced a few years back, so I should be good to go there. Just waiting on all of the parts to show up and and then find a good weekend to start turning a wrench!

    Ready to order Stage 1 MTW turbo, what should I do at the same time?

    UPDATE: Order placed! Well, I couldn't contain myself... I just placed me order for a Stage 1 turbo and new CAC boots. Now I just gotta find someone in Ft. Worth to help me install this sucker!

    Ready to order Stage 1 MTW turbo, what should I do at the same time?

    Updated drain was done a couple of years ago when I had the bedplate leak fixed (under warranty, thankfully). Good to know on the metal tube. I'm thinking of doing a CCV re-route too so that my new boots don't get all oily. Do you have a part number I can look for the metal tube at Tousley...

    Ready to order Stage 1 MTW turbo, what should I do at the same time?

    Howdy everyone - I'm on the verge of ordering a Stage 1 turbo from MTW, and am wondering what y'all think I should do at the same time. I have a 2006 F250 that is stock mechanically (no studs, stock exhaust, etc), running tunes from gearhead. I do no plan on changing injectors or anything of...

    Howdy from Ft. Worth

    Sweet! I'm right on the north side of Lake Worth. I am about 2 seconds away from ordering a new turbo from MTW and will need help putting it in so I may hit you up!
