Hey guys I have been trying to dial some tuning issues in with my new setup in my 2000 Tacoma with an AHU swap. I have a GT1856 Turbo from Mécanique Évolution, as well as FT300 nozzles, ARP head studs, 2.5 mandrel bent downpipe and exhaust, 2.5 inch intercooler piping to a small intercooler, k and N cone filter mounted to the end of the oem air box pipe, ALH style N75 and Tune from Malone. My issues are this, steady stream of black smoke behind the truck at 70mph at 3000 rpms on the freeway, small amounts of black smoke at idle with the AC on, and the truck wants to die if you floor the accelerator at 2100 rpm, it will literally blow so much black smoke that it chokes the turbo down.... Am I having a fuel delivery problem? In the tune? Is the turbo vane actuator not set correctly? I haven’t gotten hardly any Support from MEC EVo or malone and am starting to get frustrated... So I am here!!! Thanks for any help/advice!!! PS I have an EGT and boost gauge and Vag com. EGTs are at 1100 at 70mph at 3000rpms.... Boost is at 24psi. Boosts up fine if you slowly roll into the accelerator....
