Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Is turbo working right?

[dbartos]

Hello, I have a feeling my trubo-charger is not supplying enough air. How can I be sure and if not how do I adjust it?

Thanks, DB

By installing a Boost Gauge



But why stop there, go ahead and order a triple mount pillar and put a EGT gauge and Trans Temp Gauge in. Oo.



The Boost guage will tell you how much PSI you boost it making and then you can determine if you have a boost leak.

Where can I buy the guages? Are they easy to install?

You can start by checking out the links on this site. There are lots of gages available, and some installation kits made just for our trucks. It is not too hard to install them, just takes time, and a little knowledge of where to tap into things. And we can help with that



Everyone suggests starting with gages and I agree. It lets you monitor the health of your engine in so many ways and provides info before problems develop.

After you install the guages you should look into a TST fuel plate. Easy to install (about an hour) and relativley cheap-under 300 bucks. Then you need to look into bigger injectors and possibly an PDR govenor spring kit and then an ect. ect. ect. The list goes on. Put in the guages first and then have fun. The 12 valves are easey and inexpensive to hop up and they will take the added power with out much strain on the engine.
