Description
TURBO TIME PERFORMANCE 6.0 POWERSTROKE LIGHTNING BOLT PERFORMANCE VGT TURBO SOLENOID
Driving a diesel is a different experience and driving style than operating gas-powered vehicles. Power is intended to be predominantly generated by the turbocharger, not simply throttle and rpm, which lowers diesel efficiency and economy while increasing unnecessary strain to the drivetrain.
The Lightning Bolt Solenoid is designed to help you get the most out of your turbo (especially upgraded turbos) and diesel driving experience without artificially manipulating your system to operate more like a gas vehicle. Forcing a diesel to perform more like a gas vehicle is often experienced with products like throttle controllers, modules, or specific tuning that alters VGT vane percentages and/or causes the transmission to regularly downshift raising rpms to achieve power response.
Some of these application combinations may reduce the effective benefits or even conflict with the Lightning Bolt Solenoid operation triggering a CEL.
NOT recommended with products like “pedal commanders” or “throttle boosters” that manipulate throttle system percentages that often yield an artificial “in the seat” response feeling while reducing efficiency.
NOT recommended with tuning that restricts VGT vane percentage ranges and/or causes the transmission to downshift when applying throttle for demanded response by increasing engine rpm instead of utilizing low-end boost production from the turbocharger in order to generate power as originally intended for diesels.
TUNING – Some tuning especially with emissions may manipulate the vane position percentage range that can conflict with the Lightning Bolt operation which is intended to operate with full range. This can lead to a CEL and trigger codes such as “over-boost” or “exceeding learn limit”.
NOT JUST FOR SPORT/RACING PERFORMANCE – THE LIGHTNING BOLT SOLENOID IS ALSO AN IDEAL APPLICATION FOR:
- IF YOU HAVE A LARGER VGT TURBO & WANT SPOOL AS FAST OR FASTER THAN THE STOCK TURBO
- IF YOU TOW OFTEN & WANT QUICKER POWER & TORQUE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL
- INCREASED FUEL & CLEANING UP YOUR EXHAUST
- QUICKER & STRONGER EXHAUST BRAKING
- LARGER WHEELS SUFFERING FROM SLOWER ACCELERATION & BOOST
