Title explains it all. I have a 2006 era edge mounted in a 2006 truck since the truck was pretty much new.
Recent got an airdog and it increased hp for sure, then I decided to get the hot unlock code (not the smartest idea ik) to see how hard it would fuel and if the original cp3 was in good condition (itll black out an intersection so I think that means its good?).
The airdog did not fix my intermittent stuttering/shuddering issue. New rail pressure sensor seemed to help but I noticed it coming back a little today, gets worse with higher levels (the box is 12 y/o at least and still works so def could be the edge.) To elaborate. At part throttle acceleration you can hear the engine defuel/stop fueling for a split second then resume. Sometimes happens multiple times while accelerating, sometimes shudders really bad and sounds like it's searching between multiple different throttle levels. Its intermittent and doesnt seem to be related to anything.
So as I understand it hot unlock allows full fuel to 3200 and a more aggressive mid range. Still defuels on shifts (cant drive at less than 1/2 throttle on hot but I assume that's because of whatever the edge does to get power (timing/duration). Still caps rpm brake boosting but it ripped the tires loose instantly and I felt the axle wrap from the cab so no more of that.
Edge recommends a turbo upgrade with it and I definitely need one. Stock turbo tops out at 41 psi (can hit that at 2k rpm in OD on hot midrange power is nasty). But if I give it more than even 2/3 throttle at lower speeds especially egts skyrocket, cant even read it on the digital monitor, it will go from 1600 past 17 to probably 1800 in less than 2 seconds (so not sustaining that at all but still domt want to see it that high).
My question is I seem to lose boost pressure pretty quick on hot, I understand I'm asking too much of the stock turbo but on lower levels it holds 40 till right before it shifts. If I roll into it on 6 it holds 40 psi, if I mash on it it stays in the 30s. Is there any ghetto modifications I can do to the wastegate to push it to 50? I understand I will just be pushing hotter and hotter air and will rape the turbo but honestly I'm trying to learn things here.
I really would like to replace this with mm3 and actual tunes, and get a bigger turbo.
Also, my airdog while working great seemingly, had dropped pressure to 4 psi and the motor was hot as hell. I reset the pressure to 10 and now 15 and its stayed where it's set at but the motors still getting hot. Checked connections and they're cool dont think it's a wiring issue. Do the brushes have to wear in? I really dont want to warranty this it's not even a week old.
Also og headgasket would a retorque of the head bolts be a good idea?
