Thanks, this has really been a lot of help. I will look for some gauges and buy a tuner. Thanks again for your help.

Just FYI, there is a difference between a "tuner" and a "chip". Most would recommend staying away from tuner. (edge, superchips, etc...) and spending it on a "chip". More bang for the buck and can be custom tuned by the vendor to meet your needs. DP-Tuner, Tony Wildman, PHP, just to name a few. Check out the forum sponsors for some options.

Good Luck

Robb

I was looking into a DP Tuner. I have noticed in your signature a 140v idm and the HPX. What are these and is it something i can do myself. Thanks Sean

DP sounds good. IIRC the 140v IDM allows the the injectors to open faster and stay open longer. It is something you can do yourself, If you're comfortable soldering. It involves opening the IDM and swapping out a resistor. I did not do this mod myself, as my IDM was crapping out (full of water) and bought an already modded IDM for $400ish.

Couple links w/ directions
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...resistors.html
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...od-w-pics.html

The HPX line allows high pressure oil to have a equal (or more equalish) flow to both oil galleys (Pictured below). This allows the ICP (Injection Control Pressure) to pick up a more accurate pressure reading. Can get them HERE. $55 shipped. JUST be sure you scroll down to the "OBS" line, will say 94-97 powerstroke on it, the others won't work

Just as a note, these mods don't add power, per say, but are good supporting mods to other things. The first 3 things to do are Intake, Exhaust and gauges before anything else

Yeah. I don't have them backwards.

You explained a Stall.

]Turbocharger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] If the pressure rises high enough, a compressor stall will occur, where the stored pressurized air decompresses backwards across the impeller and out the inlet.

Compressor stall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.
I'm not going to argue with you over this... its pointless because you already know everything there is to know about everything. But your explanation was a FAR WORSE explanation than my horrible explanation.
