The P0087 Saga Continues

[More Power]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the link -- interesting info.

I've driven by the EGT and boost gauges since I started running turbos years ago. I always felt that the EGT in particular was a critical representation of what is going on in there, and that managing those temps conservatively is a good way to prolong the life of the engine.

In that review you can see that adding performance surprisingly allowed for a lower EGT - sorta contrary to what logic might suggest.

Hi,

OK, the deed is done.

Spent an interesting and informative time with John Kennedy yesterday in his shop, getting a dual lift pump and "Kill P0087" tune loaded. John says he tweaked torque a bit as well.

Time will tell, but I have high hopes.

Rich,
Please keep us in the loop. We'd all love to hear how it turns out!

Hi Davey,

It drove 300 plus miles back home yesterday no problem. The real test won't come until summer, when I start long trips with the heavy trailer. It has never coded running empty.

But I will give a full report for sure.

I've reserved your space...

Hi Jim,

I'd love to visit with you and park it in that pasture up the hill again. But between a wedding in Texas and a bucket list New England tour in the Fall, none of my my travel will be that far west this year.

But Texas heat in early August should be a good test...
