Replacement Turbo

[Marty]

Sparks MD... so you're a few hours away but Eric is still close.

Just give him a call and get an SCT and have him send you a few tunes.

[!!!PainTrain!!!]

Just go ahead and buy the SCT from Eric at Innovative.

The edge only changes the stock computer files and fools it into dumping more fuel into the motor. The SCT writes a completely new file that will tune pretty much every single part of your truck and make them work TOGETHER. You will see improved throttle response, lower egts, and more MPG...I know that I did.

And in the grand scheme of things its only around $400 when you just spent $$$$$ on a turbo.

panic so let me understand this now your running a stock program with the Turbonetics ? How is this turbo compared to stock ? Spool up , I just realy curious as thought about doing it possibly .

As for the SCT, Gus at FBD sent me one with the turbo so I already have it. I just don't have a monitor for the inside of the truck. Can I download the codes myself? Or do I need to send it out? How does the SCT thing work? If that is the case and the edge with attitude is no good to me anymore, would anyone be interested in one?

Galoush, I am running the stock program for now. That is why I am trying to figure out the SCT stuff. Just got the turbo in and truck on the road last night. It runs better, but can tell she is holding back some hp. I think once I figure it all out she will run like a beast!

you plug your sct tuner into the OBD II port get the trucks stragegy. write it down, call eric at innovative tell him you want custom tunes for your truck. tell him what you have done your strategy and all that fun stuff he'll ask you for. he'll send you an email with the tune in it then load it onto your sct with liveload software then put the sct back into your OBD II port and load the tune to the truck...then youll be roastin tires

Hey thanks Dave once you put a tune on it is going to be ALOT different and i do mean alot , i dont think the turbo is going to give more power over stock w/o a tune really. Im just wondering do you see any differance in EGTS at all ? Just elimintating the stock turbos quirkiness with the Hesitation and extreme lag at times esp if you get on it hard let off the pedel then get back in it you know is a good reason to switch the Variable vane is pain esp if youve let your truck sit like i did ....Im sure the humidity and stuff contributes to the vanes sticking and such if your not driving it , ive been driiving it now much more and it seems alot better . My truck runs great with an 80 Hp tune ive run the 140hp tune (Using PPEs programer but the SCT is the one to do so its been said ) and never had any problems , boilovers etc , i just decided to be alot more conservative with Ford and the dealers busting balls over mods , one dealer already told me they would not work on truck with the mods i have ( Same as you basicly: Intercooler , intake , exhaust ) . another thing is i think it takes some driving for the computer to learn when you change something or do a tune i could be wrong if anyone has anything to contibute to that idea please say something .

I run a modified vgt with a 65mm compressor and 70mm 10 vane turbine with 03 housing. Works great for me with 190's and whistles like a 747. Stock injectors probably would use a little smaller compressor wheel. Mine is also machined to prevent sticking vanes. IMO it is a good option.
