Could use some pictures! Stage 3 should only be running 18 PSI, are you including atmospheric pressure? the Map sensor in these is only 2.5 bar so anything past 22 it can't even meter.

Ya everything on the truck side is stock works a lot better than I thought it would have but i always have issues with the wiring harness working on building another one now sits around the 30 mpg best ive got was34 mpg but the awd and dash all work as they should I built a 2001 caravan with a trick and used the manual tranny but the cluster was canbus system and wouldn't work so I just used the bullydog watch dog and was great it got 46 mpg was very happy with it how do you add pics on here

Thats cool I see how you mounted the crank and cam signal and used the TPS to keep the auto trans happy. Very cool.

Ya it was a long process had a lot of trouble with the flex plates ripping apart the machine shop didn't have the adapter plate centered for the motor to the tranny so the truck sat on and off now it has rust showing up everywhere so I want to upgrade the body to maybe a 2007 Durango or Dakota sometime but it has been fun I want to try a twin turbo on it and see what it does

any thing above 15mpg in a durango is winning... LOL...

you do not wanna exceed year of engine vs year of title of body... aka 2003 engine in a 2007 body will never pass a emission check... and with vw lies and such... tdi swaps are going to get nailed soon or a later... and knit picked.. so imo... get a southern one as old and solid as you can.. then use it to build.. how i do it... ****ty test bed... solid never seen salt for rebuild into keeper
