The last couple of times I've been in my deuce, the truck has a noticeable increase in power at high rpms. I mostly notice it going up a slight grade under moderate load. What happens is when the rpms get up around 2400 or so, the turbo will change to a higher pitch (C turbo), the boost will jump way up, and there is a noticeable increase in power. It doesn't do it all the time, just when the conditions are like described above.
I've got a pyro and boost gauge. Normally I run about 9-10 lbs of boost and 1,000 egt max. When the turbo pitch changes the boost jumps way up. I've seen it hit 14lbs and still climbing when I let out of it for fear it's fixing to self destruct. It comes on all of a sudden like you flipped a switch. Not unlike nitrous in a race car. I know I'm trying to compare a deuce to a race car but you get the point, it comes on that fast and while it won't pin you to the seat, it is very noticeable.
I fear this is the truck running really good right before it takes a dump. Has anybody ever experienced anything like this? The turbo is screaming so loud during this that it sounds like it's overspeeding and fixing to fly apart.
