OK so i need some help understanding the waist gate function. On my truck in my sig i have been running a Smarty S-03 for about 2 years and I have had the waist gate both hooked up and un-hooked with a 1/8 plug in the hole on the turbo. Egt's are much lower with the waist gate disconnected. I thought lower EGT's is better?
I guess my Question is what is the harm of disconnecting the waist gate?

From DAP?? I thought I had read that DAP gets their vp44's from industrial injection, but I could be wrong. The only place I know 100% will warranty a tapped pump is Blue Chip...... But I still have nightmares about my experience with them 

 

I have a blue chip pump. Had it for 75k with no issues like you. He even sells a stealth cover. He also gets enough money for them to cover a tapped wire. At the time I bought mine he was the only one who said that new electronics were installed on them.

When I bought mine I went with the "upgraded" pump. It didn't have new electronics but it had a 2012 or newer computer. The first one ran for 5 miles then fell flat on its face. p0216 code - injection pump timing failure. I called him and got a warranty pump. That one ran for about a week and a half. Then the truck started having trouble starting and would bellow white smoke just idling. He said somehow the timing got messed up. No codes. I tried getting him to upgrade me to new electronics but he refused unless I paid the difference. So I sent him his pump back and bought an industrial injection. 1,500 miles problem free. Even starts easily in -15 degree weather!

That is the point, but if I send it back under a warranty claim and they pull the cover off of the computer they will see where the wire was pierced from the stealth plate. With the way my luck went with the blue chip pumps I need all the warranty time I can get!

I just recently installed my Edge Comp and BD stealth plate the signal wire goes to a large solder joint and leaves an indent as it makes the connection. So I would assume that's how someone would know...
