I have the edge, works well for work or play. I tow trailers with ease and can go fast whenever I want too. mines an 06

 

I use a smarty jr. for my '05. Has 3 settings, economy, towing, and performance (40,70,and 100 I believe). I get lots of smoke on the towing (70) setting. I tow a fifth wheel at about #14,000lbs, and on the performance (100) setting, get no egt problems, and runs like a bear.

 

That sounds like fun. All that smoke and stuff. I'd like to figure out how to get fire to come out of my stacks like the old hot rods did years ago. THAT would be cool. Any ideas Steve?

 

All you have to do is splice into your MAP sensor.

Basically the map sensor senses how much manifold pressure is in the engine and puts fuel in accordingly. The sensor line is fed by a 5 volt line and the more pressure in the manifold the more voltage is pushed down the signal line, so when you install the switch, you are pushing maximum voltage or a full pressure signal to the computer, dumping extra fuel in until the turbo gets up to speed.

For the 4-pin connector, you only need two wires. If you look at the map sensor plugged in, facing the cab, you want the two wires on the right. The colors vary from year to year, but the two on the right (as you face the cab) are what you need.

Put a line splice on both lines and just wire up to a toggle switch that has on/off capabilities and you are done. Yes, the MIL will always stay on because the sensor is getting full voltage and the truck doesnt like that.

Once the switch is turned off, it takes 3 - 4 cycles for the MIL light to go off, unless you have a programmer to clear it, but you will cause the light to come on.

You better have gauges because if used improperly, your EGT's will skyrocket.

Also, be careful where you use this. Doing it on the street and pissing people off only makes it bad for all of us.

ok so you wire both of those wires to the same toggle switch so they are connected together when the switch is turned on?

 

Exactly....

 

Thanks for the info Coal Train, Been looking forever to find out how to. Appreciate it!

 

Does it make a lot of smoke or is it not worth it?

 

Depends on if you have the fuel to support it.

Stock tuning, stock injectors.............You'll get some smoke, but you need to push more fuel to get the results I'm assuming you're after.

What this does is fool the ECM into thinking there is more boost, so it tries to supply more fuel. With the stock torque management, the computer will still only supply so much fuel right off the bat.

 

Will It do well with the edge box?
