Turbo cutting out?

[jimmyp]

SO i just did a DIY intake the other day and a straight pipe, and my truck is finally able to take advantage of the 80hp chip that is in it. I pulled up to a light yesterday and there was a jackbag sittin there in a dodge, and a soon as I pulled up he started to spool up, so when in rome....... well any how we launched and things were going well but at about 70mph and about 2100rpms I could here my intake sucking air and it sounded it was starting to sputter..... was I making to much boost and things shutting down? i backed out of it a hair and it cleared up... needless to say I got killed. haha

did your check engine light come on right before it started cutting out. My guess is that you built too much boost and your truck defueled.

Sounds like it might have been turbo surge.

[whitelightning150]

[jimmyp]

Turbo surge, you need more than a 80 econo chip to take on a Cummins. You will your azz handed to you every time, lol!!!!

yeah found that out the hard way haha, but like my old man always told me..... im special. im planning a 6pos chip here in the real near future but gona do guages first, the 80hp happened to be in this truck when I got it a little over a month ago. will the chip and tunes help with the surge or am I gona be doing a boost fooler in the near future too?

The 6pos chip wont help the surge. You need a Wicked wheel.
