22.1mpg to be exact. It's been getting 22mpg long before I messed with the ALDA.

Yes, not a cloud like a full bombed-out Cummins but a slight black haze that can be seen in headlights. I'm going to try and setup another dyno session this weekend if I have the spare cash. I'll see exactly what's going on with HP #'s/smoke/water injection at that time.

A slight haze that can be seen in the headlights is perfectly normal. Just about every diesel will do that.......including this one.

The real test is black smoke in daylight under heavy accels.......that will tell you that you're overfueled. The black smoke at no, or low boost conditions confirms this. If you have no black smoke at full boost, then it's properly fueled at that operating point.

I converted the bar spec to PSI. .7-.8 bar = 10.1- 11.6 PSI. Thanks for taking the time to scan your FSM.

Earlier today, I turned up the boost to 12.25, and its definatly pulls harder when the turbo is producing full boost. I'm going to bring it back down to 11.5 PSI or so to be safe.

It appears to spool faster now, with the controller installed.

Easiest way is to install a pressure controller in the line between the wastegate actuator and the intake manifold. This restricts the wastegate starting to open until pressure reaches a high enough level to start leaking past the controller and cracking open the wastegate. Makes the wastegate operate in a more on/off fashion instead of starting to crack open as soon as boost starts to build.
