my truck has been selected for more beta testing 
they want me to swap my secondary turbo for a VGT and have me test out a new tuner they came up with that is based off my current tuner, but with added built in VGT controller, etc... should be interesting. and will give me an exhaust brake! woot!

I have an external tuning box that plugs into both the canbus data link under the hood, map sensor, and wiretaps the injection pump.
it would be a new external fueling box with an additional connection for the turbo.
most 24v cummins trucks don't run programmers as they can't make as much power as an external fueling box that wiretaps the pump.
I have a programmer for my truck, but I never really use it.

no lol.
that is the reason for the map sensor connection. it prevents the ECM from knowing the actual boost amount to prevent an overboost code.
and no CEL's ever
it does fueling through both the datalink by altering live data, and by using a mosfet to push the injection pump harder. edge uses the same type of fueling methods.
only this box will go above and beyond everyone else's boxes

What's a mosfet?
Edge tuners, bleh. I dislike them. Never seem to work right...

why would I want to go over there in the land of excessive salt use?! my truck already has some cancer going, I don't need to make the cancer 10x worse! lol
If I want to drive through tons of snow, I need only take a 30 minute drive to the mountain pass through the cascade mountains

From wikipedia:
The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. Although the MOSFET is a four-terminal device with source (S), gate (G), drain (D), and body (B) terminals,[1] the body (or substrate) of the MOSFET often is connected to the source terminal, making it a three-terminal device like other field-effect transistors. Because these two terminals are normally connected to each other (short-circuited) internally, only three terminals appear in electrical diagrams. The MOSFET is by far the most common transistor in both digital and analog circuits, though the bipolar junction transistor was at one time much more common.
I've heard of them in car stereo amplifiers a lot, but that's all. I'm no electrical engineer.
