  7. Thanks Mike I mAde one today couldn't get higher than 6 lbs was going to buddy's house to use his big comp I just had a little 12v tire pump I thought It should've been enough anyhow I turned in on the adjustable boost elbow and threw the bhaf back on i had to wait awhile till he got home so I soaked everything up with soapy water and fired her up first coupling right under turbo blowing big bubbles soak all the clamps up wd 40 and it got dark the hunt continues tomorrow
  8. I'm having a hard time finding the article on how to check for leaks in the system I'm going to attempt to make something out of pvc or rubber and pump about 20 lbs into turbo than some soap and water in a spray bottle?
  9. Seems my boost is low 10 maybe when I hit it I have edge comp set on 3x3 lot of smoke maybe leaking or glowshift hooked up wrong or plastic hose cracked hooked it up awhile ago but with my setup I should hit 30 lb quick I think or gauge is NG any ideas where to start
  10. I'm going to wait for the air filter than get the temps thanks
  11. Well like I said was gonna sell the truck than thought about it and decided to keep it I'm thinking the air cleaner was on just a bit longer than it should have when the new one gets here I'll see how it works as far as smoke I've been playing with the comp settings but I'm thinking the amsoil filter is done tried blowing it out but it's starting to collapse when I hit the throttle a good friend said maybe a little bigger sticks might get the egts down just looking for some advice from you guys thanks
  12. PS I was going to sell this truck but I just can't do it so my nephews gonna do the body work and shoot it with some new paint and my buddy owns a tranny shop he's looking around at options I'd love to put a stick in it

  16. ok a friend is telling me its probably the orafice thats the problem any thoughts? pressure is good it takes a long time to get cold than it gets cold and sometimes not especially when you really need it i keep checking the pressure and its holding ok :banghead:
  17. I cannot understand for the life of me how these people get all this time to protest things that dont need protesting everyone in this country should be entitled to there opinions at least thats what I thought we fought for. so what if the owner of chickafil said what he said hes entitled to say it if certain people decide not to eat there thats there right just like whats on the radio or whats on tv change the damn channel if you dont like it to many liberals. if they dont like something thats said or thats on tv or radio than protest it and shut it down why not change the channel or not eat there. myself personaly i dont have the time to protest the protesters because i work or im out fishing or up in the mountains enjoying my self and my family lifes to short for all this crap

  23. I dont mind helping people out thats whats great about this country but I am real tired of helping people out that dont help themselves! I had my own buisiness for 22 years and it all went away with the NAFTA bill than I had to cowboy up and find a job it took awhile to find a decent one but I did. I am afraid for my children and grandchildren as there going to be paying for all these mistakes.........
  24. government is the problem :evilgrin:the american dream is sadly slowley disappearing to overseas labor and technologly im fine as far as everything goes but i worry for our children its time to put tariffs back on some of these imports before its to late i had a very sucessful buisness in the womens garment center until NAFTA was put in place wiped out thousands of jobs up here people need to start looking at where the product there buying is made its a very tough thing to do but i do as much as i can time to start tightening up the borders before its to late might be already considering china owns this country :banghead:
