Does the BS change the vane position or is the turbo using the same position it normally would for say 10lbs of boost when the stick it actually creating 20lbs of boost?

The reason i ask is because if it does not change the vane position this could be the reason for the turbo fart issue(cavatation due to wrong vane position?). Mine does it quite a bit!

Do you have your EGR disabled?

To answer your question the BS does not directly change the vane angle, it does trick the ecm into thinking there is less boost then there really is. So the ecm orders a change in the angle to increase boost accordingly. So I guess indirectly it does.

Rick has the answer to your problem however. The increased boost combined with the sudden decrease of drive pressure because of the EGR opening up is causing the barking.

After what happened to sideswiper I am blocking the EGR's on all my trucks!

I don't have mine blocked but it is definately UNplugged.

mine is blocked, but not unplugged (egr)

What happen to sideswiper? I have my EGR unhoooked and no problems with BS and EDGE so far, is there a reason to need a blocker plate?

Sideswipers EGR got stuck open and he lost all power and was seeing a lot of smoke. He got stranded at an unfamiliar dealership, ended up going to another one, leaving his truck there, renting a car, and going home. He found out many days later and many hundreds of dollars later that it was the EGR stuck open. That is why the plate is a good thing. It also took the dealership a very long time to figure out that this was the problem.

Mines turned off completely (via EFILive)

I unplugged my EGR before I got the boost stick and seemed to lose MPG so I plugged it back in. I have a boost stick on now and have not had any problems. Would I be tempting fate to unplug the EGR again?

No, UNplug it now! You will be doing your engine a favor.

Unplugged the EGR harness 4 days ago. Much less smoke with the Juice, seems like snappier low end, but MPG is sufferring. Tank average was 12.4 on local driving, 30-40 degrees.

Why would unplugging the EGR hurt MPG? Seems like it helped performance otherwise.

Ben, turning offthe EGR is not good enough. Fingers and MaxPower stated that the EGR can be pushed open by the psi. I have logged this via my scan tool and seen the false boost on my gauge in the truck. A blocker plate is a must have for everyone, even if it is unplugged or turned off.

Lateley I've been seeing more smoke than usual... Is it possible my EGR is starting to stick? It'll smoke more than usual when cold (used to smoke a little, now the front yard gets a light blue haze when I idle thetruck for a few) and I've noticed that very often when I get on it on the highway, it'll smoke more than it used to.

Does the 2.02 predator turn the EGR off, or just surpress the codes?

It completely disables the EGR system in the programming. I have verified this with EFI Live.
