I know how to I am going to tell you its a BAD idea but its your truck do what you want.
Just tap into one of the wire that plug into the turbo, and put a switch. cheap way to get black smoke, but a real BAD way.

you might need a programmer to do it but idk. its not the best idea at all unless you have the money for a new turbo and stuff. you know a cheaper way than that though is just unplug the thing. then when your done plug it back in

What's the difference. I understand what your saying but isn't that what the switch is. Just cuts it on and off. How is it bad for it. I'm learning about all of this

LOL, this thread is going to be awesome! I kind of like the Turbo kill switch idea too. But if I were you I would drill and tap the intake manifold around the EGR (central-ish area) and rig up an auxiliary fuel tank attached to some for of injector like maybe a windshield wiper sprayer or something, then add a switch. I wouldn't do this to my own truck ever but it would smoke a lot and if you did it enough times you could get a brand new motor which is a cool side-effect...

There is more than one thread at the .Org about this ridiculous mod. It's a BAD thing for an already finicky turbo not to mention it being one more reason for the tree huggers to bitch and put MORE regulations and controls on our trucks. If you want to blow some smoke why don't you just shove a lit rag down your fuel tank neck. Then you can see some REAL smoke.
