I had EGT issues with those toons as well. Among other things.
Excited to hear you think you like the turbonator. Look forward to more data to push me over the edge. I think this may be a game changer for 6spd trucks.
Test response to FTNSFW to confirm forum software issue reported by FTNewsignature.
If you see a signature of mine below this post (which would be a rare sight indeed, as I don't do cigs, but wanted to test a problem report), then FordTruckNothing wrong on FTE's end.
If not, then, FordTruckNoticed a problem with our software that needs a fixin.
Okay I got it figured out. Turns out every edit I made inserted phantom carriage returns after the last line of text that made the sig too long and prevented it from saving. Sig saved normally after I made sure to delete all the extra carriage returns.

Now will you tell me what your favorite beer is already?!
That reminds me, I will have to get up there for you to have a test drive. If memory serves, the boot I popped on your truck was the CAC tube to y-pipe boot also.

And it's an F5 even! I have to send it in to get tunes flashed. How's that for old-school?

I had a similar issue when updating my sig after the 363 swap. I don’t remember the details but somehow it wasn’t saving however it appeared to when hitting save. I “think” my issue also had to do with something making it be too long.
I went data-logging today. Laptop in passenger seat logging FORScan and screen recording DPS Turbonator s/w, iPhone normally on the end of that arm thing if not tking this ****ty panaorama, action cam on window recording gauges.
Loving this. It would be above my head if I had to do all that tweaking via lap top. Not really good on that stuff. Mechanic, yes, computers, not so much. Please keep it coming.
Do you know what vane % is equal to what "turbine housing AR specs". Remember seeing on their site its something like .55AR-1.20AR (IIRC) range. Random example; 33% open is similar/equal to a .91ar standard housing.

I asked DPS that exact same question and they said "that's not how a VGT works." Their marketing copy says "Performs like a .50 a/r housing up to a 1.1 a/r turbine housing." A/R ratio is just shorthand for mass flow vs expansion ratio, which is what really matters in turbine performance. What complicates matters is the controller readout is of ACTUATOR position, not vane position. What the actual vane position is depends on the geometry of the linkage from the actuator to the unison ring operating lever and is probably non-linear. I'm guessing the actuator travel is slightly less than vane travel by design so the actuator doesn't over-actuate the vane mechanism. I think that's why their actuator calibration procedure says to activate the exhaust brake function (i.e. actuator at 0% position) and then gently lever the actuator outwards away from the scroll so the vanes are at their 0% open position. At least we know 0% actuator = 0% vane in that respect. I will try to mount a camera to catch the entire mechanism in action as I drive.

It’s good to see you enjoying the fruit of all your labor.
Oh man the difference is beyond night and day. Let's put it this way: The way the truck feels after a boot has popped off when running the 38R, that's how the 38R with no leaks feels compared to the new setup.
Thanks. You have no idea how relieved I am that all that work gave a positive result.

And the stack of dollar bills. It looks amazing, but too much like a helo pilot to run. I'm old school, slap the 364.5 in, close the hood....drive the **** out of it.

I'm a wannabe race driver/engineer doncha know? I can't help but tweak.

That is awesome and I am so glad for your results.
Now I’m wondering when someone will go from a “normal” SXE to just adding the VGT. I’d love to know the difference there. I would imagine it is quite significant. My thought is this would allow someone to run a bigger size turbo for the top end and EGT improvements without the sacrifice at the lower end of the powerband. Of course I guess that’s the whole purpose behind this technology.
