[QUOTE="Suns_PSD, post: 54110, member: 849"] Even at mild boost and throttle positions I couldn't get enough air to my motor. It was effecting spool up, egts, and smoke. My restriction gauge would get bottomed out at about 1/3 - 1/2 throttle. I built this contraption (ignore the H2 generator): [URL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2564929090086391584yrrrXM][IMG]http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/34148/2564929090086391584S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Worked like an absolute champ. Spool up felt like I had dropped a turbine housing size, picked up about 6-8psi boost and smoke was reduced. I don't even need an egt gauge any longer. My truck just doesn't get hot. I've also done oil analysis and my silicone is really really low now. I think it's because it's sucking less hard on the individual filters and therefore ingests less dirt. I think last time, w/ about 5700 miles on the oil, my silicone was like 2 ppm and I drive on dirt roads weekly. My restriction gauge hasn't moved in years now, since I did the mod. For the money, probably one of the best mods I've ever done. I don't know if my rig dynos any more hp, but I promise you it gets there a lot quicker. [/QUOTE]
