Tubro NOT working, HOT EGT's!!! HELP!!!
Funny you ask about the smoke... NO I can't get it to smoke for nothin! I did pressurize it to look for a leak... only one i found was the bleed hole on the boost elbow. Unless Im missing something on how to look for one here is a picture of what i did. During the test, I did not see the wastegate move. but i was busy looking for leaks too.. About the boost. 10 psi boost is MAX, and that was before the egt issue and it took a long time to get that, like about 15 - 30 seconds pinned. So now no, it doesn't get 10 psi, more like 4 or so. it can but it gets so hot so fast. How do I check about the oil in the turbo? How do I see if it the turbo is shot or not? The intake air trubine moves just fine an free.

In tank fuel pump
For whatever reason I don't have 1/4 issues with my drawstraw V. Now that being said I have heard more 1/4 issues about the Drawstraw I's. At the moment, I am a needel width BELOW the 1/8 mark. I need fuel i know, but it is experiment to see how far I can get it down so far so good. I have about less than a needle width to the red.

I don't think you will have to modify anything but put in a drawstraw v. I got my drawstraw for my Raptor 150 from Vulcan and they were great. If your getting and Airdog and not a Raptor, you have return lines. But for either one you will need a drawstraw and either drop the tank to get to the fuel module or lift the bed.

No it has not always been like this. In May my Edge took a dive, so I sent it in to get reflashed. Just this last week got a Raptor 150 install. This no boost issue happened in June, I parked it until last week or so driving my ranch rig around. I thought i was the dead lift pump but no... I was wrong. The Edge on or off doesn't matter with the egt heat or boost (my max boost is 10 psi). Last week however, i didnt have the egt issue. It cruised at 600 - 900*, Now it creeps to 1,250* in 5th!

Tubro NOT working, HOT EGT's!!! HELP!!!
Ok... I have been having a major issue with not being able to build more than 10 psi boost. I have been trying to fix it to no avail. So, today was about 85*+ here. Drop down the high way and looked over... 1,200* EGT's!!! I was shocked! All week I had been running 600 - 900* even with these low boost numbers (10 psi max). Boost issues STILL There and now the heat issue too! I turned off my Edge, didn't make a dent. When I sped up a little it would hold or drop 50*. It wouldn't get over 1,200*, unless i was going up hill to the floor (and I pretty much have to do that in 5th to get up a hill with no boost ) PLEASE!!! Any suggestions would be great. So tonight i figured out how to do a turbo pressurized test from Moparman1976. Now hooked the air line to it, first time it blew off... so i lowered the regulator on the compressor. It Barely stayed on but did. Found a leak, or so i thought. The boost elbow is from Edge. I thought it was at the hose clamp, but after taking that clamp off and re-tightening it twice it is good. I did notice that the boost elbow had a small pin size hole in the 90* angle. What is that about? The air was coming from that, and not the hose. I'm at a total lose. I can't find a leak. I didn't see my wastegate move. and I'm heating up faster than ever and for the life of me don't know why or how to fix it. Please help, I'm at the end of my rope.
