I drive a 93 f250 with a 7.3 IDI. It only 'rolls coal' loaded pulling steep grades. From what I understand blowing back is extremely hard on the engines internals b/c of the high egts that come with it.

If I wanted to I could use a 5/32 allen wrench and turn up my IP a few flats...that would get her to smoke, but I am not big on wasting fuel.

Yeah I think because it might be fuelling high until the turbo's spool up and the smoke dies down.

my 98 dodge would smoke alot but with a very big single turbo it was hard to avoid with fuel turned up. i have had cars stop on highway 2 because they couldnt see. would i be chocked if someone put me in that danger now that i have a family yes. im just glad im past that point in my life.
