    If you own it and that is your goal. Have it reprogrammed. Google them. If you own it and are in that mind set, you will not be in business long. Good luck.

    Step 1: open pocket knife
    Step 2: insert into first boot off turbo, then adjust hole size for amount of smoke.

    Have them reprogram the ecm to dump more fuel. The old b-model mechanical cats could be done by turning the fuel pump up.
    These guys asking why, don't remember the old trucks that would blow coal for miles.
    Hammer down and have fun!!!
