Thank you. I will wait and see what they provide. They want to go with a cummins top hat part number. We'll see.

So I finally was able to look at the valve seals and you were correct. The seals were tore up and squished. What was the p/n of the top hat you used? I contacted the head shop and they agreed to replace with either cummins top hat or the oness you used.

I really enjoyed your's and MossyOak71's research and application of replacing the valve seals. I now lost that thread but hope to check mine out this weekend. Just recovering from back surgery so my skills are limited until I am feeling better. Thanks again. BTW when I reply to a post, how do I reply and include the post I am responding to?

Based on the indicators what is guiding you to seals versus turbo. As imentioned earlier i also thought it might be seals. Ill check and let you know. Thank you

The head is a brand new head as well as valves, valve springs and seals. I currently have 50hp injectors that were installed May of 2011. The blue smoke is definitely oil by the smell. The codes I was picking up P0341 and P1693. I have received these several times. Just last week I had the cam position sensor replaced. Since then I haven't driven it enough to regenerate these codes.

I would like to add some info as I am experiencing blue smoke as well. I just had the head replaced about 6 mos ago. I thought that the valve seals were bad/failed. I know in a gas engine if it smokes at startup only it typically was valve seals. When I was on I-70 going through Aspen, they had the road blocked and I sat with the engine running for over 30 min. Just sitting there it looked like I was fogging for mosquitoes as a lot of blue smoke was pouring out. Once I was in motion, the blue smoke eventually dissipated. So, from what I understand is it could be blow-by if the vent tube was blocked or clogged or the turbo seals need replaced.(exhaust side). I am so anal about the little things I need your help to steer me in the right direction. You mention timing, but I've been running an Edge Lvl 3I for the last several years. I know I need a Quad, but I am not there yet. Not sure if it is related but I am now averaging 17.5 - 18 mpgs for the last few months. The last time I had that kind of economy, my VP44 went out. I'm sorry I don't want to muddy this feed. I'll leave it at that. Anyway, Thank you for your help.

So does this mean that a single will support non-smoke for 7x.013 injectors or just the 7x.012?

Thank you for your help. I will start looking for an android device. Any problems with OS versions?

Forgive me if this is not the correct thread for my question. I am just about ready to upgrade to a Quad, injectors and turbo. The question regarding injector size to turbo. One thought I had is a set of 7x.012 with a 62/68/12/14. Another idea is to go all out with twins and 7x.013 injectors. I wanted to stay with a single at first because I wanted to qualify for summer sled pulls, but if going to twins is really the correct approach, I will hang up my sled pull hitch forever and go with the twins. I do have an already beefed up transmission, ported head with head studs.

They do seem to be cheaper. If I remember, to use the android, do I need to get the iQuad BT?

If I may inject a question regarding the Quad. I have seen different positions on the best type of display device for the Quad: IPhone and Android. So now that I am preparing to move forward with a Quad which display device should I use? I also have some questions on injectors and turbo/s if I can locate the correct feed.

I have a 700 BDL 30-06, a Browning 338 Rem Ultra Mag, an Armalite AR-10, a S&W .500 Mag revolver and a lever action single shot 12 gauge.

Thank you. Maybe I can just remove the old one and put the Quad in its place.

Question, I currently have the Edge CTS2 and displays fuel pressure, can I tap into that sensor with the Quad?

Cool, Thank you all for your help. After looking at the tune data I think I might be able to catch on once I get my hands dirty. Thank you again.

So do I order the tuner here or go to the Quad website?

I know you mentioned you had various tunes available, but is tuning something that I could even do? Also, I am thinking to get the quad, 7x.012 injectors and then swap out the ATS 3000 for a bit larger turbo. With all this, the quad should be able to tune to get full power, yet adjust the fueling to minimize/eliminate the smoke.

If I may jump in here, I would need to remove all related Edge products(CTS2 Insight and the Juice w/Attitude) to install the Quad Adrenaline V2. Is this correct? Aand you say that I could make adjustments to eliminate low boost smoke.

I'll give you a call when I am ready for the Quad and update my injectors. Thank you for all the info. Have a good weekend and Diesel Drags in Pueblo.

Thank you. I guess I need to do some research. I don't understand why the DDP 150hp injectors I can't use, smoke so much more than the 7x.012 (250hp). so much so I had to take them out, now just sitting on the shelf. I apologize, didn't mean to change the subject or take away from what LegendaryKing was trying to learn.

Thank you.

Thank you again for your article. So what I understand is I can get better efficient power from running the right size injectors over stacking tuners. Maybe I should buy you lunch some day. :-)

Actually I answered before I read your article, so no I haven't heard this before. Outstandingarticle. Thank you for sharing. I've seen different terminology for injectors, what does the 7x .012 mean?

I have heard that alot. I like LendaryKing wants 500hp. Actually I want 650. But! I live in C.S. which has emissions therefore I am having difficulty getting there. I do like the idea of the Adrenaline which provides more precise tuning. Since I am not familiar with the Quad, I am assuming I will need to remove the edge w/attitude. I do have low rpm smoke that maybe the tuning might get rid of.

In my opinion, I would stay with the vp44. There are a lot of reputable manufacturers out there. I have 435 hp to the rear wheels with an aftermarket vp44, 50hp injectors, ATS 3000 turbo, Edge CTS2 w/Attitude, and a smarty. Also 5" exhaust.
