Take off lag

I have a 06 f250 6.0 turbo diesel. When i take off it takes a few secs before it kicks in and takes off it isnt a big problem but it is causing me slower starts. It is stock with an edge but i didnt know why or if there was anyway to eliminate this couple seconds.

You can compensate a little bit with a hotter tune that overfuels it alot, but I wouldn't use the Edge to do that.

You might get the VGT actuator checked. Had mine replaced last year for the same problem. It's much better now.

I had the same problem, sometimes it was downright scary, I will check with my service tech on what they did but I believe they only updated the computer. It runs like a champ now. (06 F250 PSD CC Lariat)
