So - I was getting ZERO power up hills, tons of smoke, etc.

Disconnected at 62A, and seem to have way less smoke, and tons more power (wiggled the turbo too, which may have been stuck).

Unfortunatly, I have lost my smooth shifting. I feel like this is an EGR thing - but I am humbly asking for help.

Read that removing some emissions parts would be oK, and that vacuum lines can be plugged.

OH - if i take this thing up to 3000 RPM+ - BLACK COAL BABY...would actually like to get rid of that if possible...

Thanks in Advance.
