MACKS Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Just my two cents but u really don’t need this on your engine,back in the day every one disconnected them or put an air switch in the cab to shut them off,just take it easy on the fuel pedal and u won’t roll any black coal,once u have boost then u can put the fuel to it… Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74727-tip-turbine-boost/page/4/#findComment-562003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv no experence with Mack engines and im getting advice from two sides...one says I dont need it and one says ill do damage to the engine because of cylinder wash from overfueling.....thanks for your input by the way...

Paul Naw long as the compression is good it will be fine just a little to alot of black smoke till the turbo spools up!

Yes I do notice that the exhaust is clean after the turbo spools up and the engine produces very little smoke if i ease the the power on instead of just flooring it.

Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted 6 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 6 hours ago Wash down of bores is more a problem when and engine idles, you get incomplete combustion and condensed fuel on the cyl walls. 'Rolling coal" tends to get hard carbon build up above the top piston ring, wearing (scoring) the bores. Best way to prevent carbon formation is to burn with enough air for complete combustion. Neither are good for an engine. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74727-tip-turbine-boost/page/4/#findComment-562012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
