sorry to tell ya about this so soon in the game, but you have 2 bad pieces of equipment on that truck. is the K&N a cool air intake? get rid of the K&N and put on a Napa 6637 filter and i haven't heard any good words about an edge evolution on a psd, i would get rid of it and get a chip from dp-tuner or tony wildman. they have awesome programming for our trucks!!!

Ditto. Check your fuel pressure at the FPR. If it's low, you can shim it with a BB.

well in the spirit of low cost mods... do the 10k mod as well. go to radioshack and get a pack of 10k ohm resistor and a pack of 5.6k ohm resistors. solder a 10k and a 5.6k resistor together and do the mod the way it's showed the following link...

The K&N is the drop in style. I haven't had any problems with the Edge to date; but I guess anything can happen. I know ya'll fellas make alot of hp just by what I've read on here. Thanks alot for any advice.

with the 6637 air filter all you gotta do is take out your stock air box, and put the 6637 in where your old box was. i can't remember if you need a short piece of 4" exhaust pipe or not, but i don't think you do. it shoul go right on there. then wallah... you got a cool air intake for a total cost of 40-50 bucks. your turbo will sound MUCH better.

The K&N drop in filters are notorious for not sealing well and letting dirt by to dust the turbo.

Welcome to FTE. As you can see these guys are more than willing to help you spend your $$. But they are tring to save you some too. The stock air box is just as much trouble as the K&N. You should get rid of both...your turbo will like it, along with your wallet. They are both known to dust turbos due to leaking dirt into the intake.

The edge programmer is OK but for the same amount of $ you can get a lot more power out of a custom burned chip. That's my 2 cents and I'm stickin to it.
