Ok my great milage is gone getting 15 on the hwy? I'm hazing all the time and blowing clouds at any setting any POD?? Rail pressure is fine power is fine. I know something is wrong when I have it on 3 at 60 POD and can still make headlights dissappear. really smoked that chevy too!!! ON #3! Any idea's?
 
I would say you have some other problem other than the smarty. I think Taylor has hit the nail on the head. Either not building boost, or a severe boost leak...
 
Boost is fine but will recheck tomorrow running about 5-8psi cruising, 30+ when floored. it used to clean up but now it's just a train!
 
i just checked the air filter and it is a little dirty but I have always wondered why S&B used such a small filter. Maybe I need to upgrade anybody have a suggestion on a good filter that seals out the engine compartment heat?
 
Sorry Bob & Marco! Why is this filter plugging up so fast just cleaned it a month ago!
I use the K&N filter cleaning kit and reoil. Any suggestions on a better filter set up?
 
More power you make the harder the turbo sucks dirt into the filter. Plus the weather is getting warmer, truck smokes a little more, more dust and particles in the air.

I like s&b and Im pretty sure they make a new setup for way cheaper since you already have their product

Using the re-oil seems to attract even more dirt and BS onto the filters causing them to clog up faster on a turbocharged vehicle. Great for naturally aspirated.
 
I saw one in Florida, I believe a S&B, it was on one of the 3 RED regularcab 12v's running in the race, looked super strong like it would never collapse.
