Dave, I don't see unplugging the map sensor making it smoke very much. It will throw the truck into default mode and use a specific number for the map sensor. I have unplugged many of them over the years to test them on trucks and never got a bunch of smoke. The reason I was suggesting the ebpv is because of the switch they were talking about by the turbo.

Anyone wanna post a pic of where they are connecting the switch to under the hood?

Now that I think about it a little more your right. but closing the ebpv shouldnt cause more smoke than normal either. At least mine didnt smoke any more than normal it was stuck shut for a couple days last winter.

i started out a few months ago by turning my chip on level 4 thats 150 extra hp and no smoke then i umplugged my mapsensor and there it came just in little puffs.

today i was thinking hey if i chop off that little curve at the end of my pipe i guess its called a downpipe or something its to turn the exaust straight at the ground! well i choped the thing off with my cutting torch and filed it all down and made it look nice ( i'm not sure why i made it look nice cuz its all comming off in 2 weeks when my stack gets here )

i chopped it off and turned my chip off to stock position and then left my map sensor pulgged in and bam smoke everywhere when i barley got to 1700 rmp now at 2500 man it poured out and then i umplugged the map and turned my chip to 150 hp and crazy smoke ( at least to me)

so i'm not sure why that little down pipe made som much of a difference but it did cuz i'm blowin coal in stockmode!

after this i cant wait till i chop the muffler and put my stack on lets see how much i pour out then!!!

i turned 16 in may and I'm the only kid at my school with a diesel also..

i seriously have no clue what you did here, it sounds like you cut the exhaust from the downpipe, and then you mention cutting the muffler off which wouldnt matter if you had it dumped at the dp anyway.

I can get more smoke when i unplug my map sensor, but its not a cloud.

can u get us a pic of what you cut off man?

the intake will give you more turbo whistle and stacks will give it a deeper tone
did mine anyway
i did what you are talking about and it was alot lot lot lot louder and i ran it like that untill i got time to put my stacks on but it was almost nothing but turbo whistle but still sounded great
