just got new edge evo.

WOW what a difference 400 bucks and 15 minutes makes. Just got my Edge Evolution programer. I can't believe how much more power it unlocks, and the added fuel milage is incredible. can't wait to switch out my exhaust and put an AFE stage II on. I put the evo up on 100 hp for poops and giggles! and had a check engine light come on though, some thing about too much or not enough presssure. but it didn't say what kind of pressure, so i backed it down to the race setting. thanks for the suggestion of the Evo. :burnout

Quite honestly, I know fellows who ran theirs on race (or higher) without doing any mods, but I don't recommend it. I kept mine on tow until I did my exhaust, then only bumped it to race. I absolutely will not go to extreme until my gauges are hooked up. Yes, I know I'm being conservative, but I'd rather do that than buy a new turbo or worse.

Kodiak74- You don't have to worry too much about excessive boost, becaus when the SES light comes on the MAP sensor is detecting out of range and it defuels a little bit over the stock settings. I'd recommend getting some gauges,(pyro and boost) that way you can watch it all. As far as how much boost is too much, I wouldn't go over 30psi. But the MAP sensor could trigger the SES as low as 20-22psi. Get some gauges and watch it, and then if is triggering the SES at 20psi or so get a relief valve to go inline to the MAP sensor. It will blow off any excess boost past about 25psi. I honestly didn't know what those were for until about a week or two ago. I'm running about 29psi of boost and it kicks on the SES all the time. I ordered one of those valves, the only problem is having to relocate the boost line to the intake manifold.

Rjacks= Thanks for the info. I do have boost and pyro gauges all though i must admit I wasn't sure what kind of pressure to look out for. My temps haven't gone over 600 degrees since i have gotten it. What is the max temp I need to look out for? I don't really drive it that hard but I do get the wild hair once in awhile and want to be sure I don't burn up a turbo. Thanks again for all the info.

That depends on where your thermocoulpler for your pyrometer is, before or after turbo. If it is after turbo(downpipe) max safe would be about 1000 degrees. If it is in your manifold 1300 degrees would be max.

My TS chip makes the ses light come on when I crank it up. And you say you have guages but haven't gone past 600 degrees even after putting it on 100 for poops and giggles? Where'd you mount the thermo, in your tailpipe???!!

Well Kodiak...I am jealous!!! I was not well aware that there were all the options that there are on the market for a chip when I purchased mine, so when I got the super chips and then found out about this one, I wish that I had just saved my money for the one that you got. But, that is life, I should have done my research. Lesson learned here and I will someday upgrade to the Edge. Glad to hear that you are taking it safe and still enjoying it!
