From what I know you have to have a tuner, and then buy a smoke switch for it. It increases fuel and decreases boost.

This 3 wires can be in in order from year to year. Especially if you replaced a MAP and got the adapter.

But you want to shutdown the signal lead going to the Edge Comp not the MAP lead to the ECM!

But MORE SMOKE mean LESS MPG. Unburnt fuel... "

I've read a couple different things man, I think you did it right though. Have you tried unplugging the map completely? Just to test, not to leave off permanently haha.

Permanently unplugging the MAP isn't advised, but you might have the wires hooked up to the switch wrong or something.

The switch should dictate that there is no boost, therefore dumping excess fuel to the engine, creating more smoke!
