Wicked wheel causing High EGTS's?

[Hammerd]

Lots of smoke - higher EGT... I installed a wicked wheel (from Riff Raff diesel) along with new up-pipe donuts and seem to have higher EGTs and more smoke than I did before. When I bought the truck 3 years ago it had a K&N drop-in which I replaced with a 6637. The turbo surge increased which prompted me to replace the compressor wheel. The up-pipes had some obvious leaks so they got the fix too. Now... my EGT alarm on my Edge module is driving me nuts. I would expect the temp to be lower but it's not the case. The temp seems to run much higher during acceleration even with no load. I pulled my 20ft boat a few weeks ago and had to creep up some of the hills I would normally be flying up before, just to keep the temp down. I checked all the boots for leaks - none. Any ideas?
One other thing... a few weeks prior, the ICP sensor sprung a leak so I replaced it with the International version. I think this is when the excess smoke began.
Help would be appreciated..

If the ICP sensor had been going bad for long time, it could've reduced power. Now that it is reading properly, you're probably fueling more, which gives you higher EGTs.

Hey do you really have the edge and superchip loaded at the same time or are you just using the edge for gauges?

I just noticed that.....


Ummm, to the OP, if you truely have them stacked.

Powerhog - If that were the case I think I would have noticed an increase in HP which isnt the case. In fact I would like to say it has possibly decreased.

Tony V - I have the Superchips programmed for "Off Road" and I usually run the Edge on level 5 "Extreme". I run with these settings mainly for fuel economy which is usually around 18 or 19 mpg.

If you want economy, get rid of the 36" toyos..... Try unplugging the ICP sensor and see if the smoke is reduced.

Ok well honestly part of your problem is the stacked chips. Just run the superchip. With both of them on your doing more dmg then good.

agreed.. i wouldnt risk that!

Boost leak or improperly installed up-pipes that are still leaking.....
