Where is everyone #5

A small leak will still make full boost but cause heat trouble

 

Scratch that, it is plumbed in the fitting after the primary fuel
fillter. Sorry @Oxbow

Here is a pic of our Pete and KW locations.

 

On the elbow into the turbo, pull the top tube out that goes to the y on the breathers. Put a folgers coffee can in that with 3 clamps holding it. Get a paint regulator for your air line in the shop and cut it back to 15psi. Over on the intake side is a 1/4 in pipe plug. Put air out of the regulator into there. Check the whole system especially the gaskets where intake bolts to the head

 

You may not agree but I feel this holds true to any diesel. I cringe at the kids with the diesel pickups "Rolling Coal".

Sled pulling different story. Just to be clear.

 

Yep that’s what she does. A wisp Black coal on acceleration after the up shift then it clears up and burns clean.

 

Y’all are confusing me. I always thought the opposite, since a lean condition would have plenty of air to carry the heat away but not much fuel to make heat.

 

I agree 100 percent.

 

Lean wont spin the turbo as fast to move the air.

 

Gotcha.

 

I’m not really a diesel guy but Air makes heat. Maybe different on a diesel but when you lean out a carb they run hotter just like when you get a hotter flame from a oxyacetylene torch when you add more oxygen. Easy to burn down a two stroke by jetting the carb too lean or when you add airflow by taking out the air filter or adding headers
