No Power!!! Please help

My truck ran perfectly fine with the Edge EZ one week ago...

Last Sunday night I removed it and added my Edge Comp :eek: I was really impressed. I drove the truck for 3 days and decided that I had better turn it off until I got my SB clutch installed. While going to the lumber yard yesterday I decided that I needed a little fix, so I turned on the Comp and put her on 5-5... . pulled out on the highway, when I shifted into 3rd I let her eat... . well that's what I MEANT to do. It bogged down and did nothing. It acts like one of the old non-turbo diesels... no power. First and second seem normal but 3-5 are the same. NO smoke and NO power.



At first I thought I had smoked my clutch but like I said:

-only been on the truck for 3 days

-I didn't do anything crazy with it, just romped it a few times

-clutch grabs normal when taking off



What does this sound like?



Anyone experience similar problems?



BTW, tell me if this is normal when adjusting the Comp. Let's say that I set the box on level 5, then I hold the grey button for 2 seconds, let off, the light flashes, I set it on 3. I push the grey button 2 more times to take it back to the level 5 setting because the flashing sublevel lights are annoying..... the level 5 is still just as I left it but when I go back to the sublevel setting it is 5 also! It always changes to match whatever the power level is... . for example it WAS 3 but when I came back to it, it was 5!



Bottom line... . does this sound like my Comp, my clutch, or what else??

UPDATE!!

THIS JUST IN...



I was doing some other things to the truck and noticed something. It has been parked for over 24 hours in 50 degree temp and when I grabbed on to the intake to pull myself up I noticed that it was warm. The engine is ice cold... the intercooler hose going to the intake is ice cold... but the intake itself is quite warm.



:confused:
 
If the aluminum intake is warm than the heating element could be cycling on and off without the key being turned. I can't help you with the ez box-I'm running a TST box. Sounds like the box could be cutting out-did you check injector wire?
 
Check all your PE Comp connections, and your intercooler connections from the intake/turbo to the horn. I don't have an Edge yet but this sounds like something got disconnected.
