Do you get good informative instructions on how to install it to my specific vehicle with this kit??? Is there another way to increase boost? like an adjustment or something??

They are not adjustable, the dtronics do fuel not boost, if you want power, best option is a safari high output kit...new intercooler and more fuel. The boost controller just goes in the waistegate line and you adjust it to get desired boost.

Ok i'm kida new to this , so what the heck is Dtronic? And i dont really want to go nuts on the cruiser. I was hoping to only increase the boost moderately. I didnt think there was a need to dump extra fuel in too. Is this right? Is there any pics online that i can view that shows where the waist gate line starts finishes/ what it looks like.

Along those lines does the 1HD-FTE run a MAP sensor by any chance to sense boost or do they just have an overboost sensor of some sort.

Do you have a decent aftermarket exhaust? If not, get one fitted, with a decent dump pipe off the turbo. you will be amazed at how much difference it makes.......

increasing boost alone wont produce more power, unless the engine is already over-fueled.
increasing boost increases the amount of air available to mix fuel with. you need to increase fuel along with boost for more power.

installing a boost controller is very simple, look on ebay at some of the "brand" name boost controllers for instructions

a decent exhaust will make more difference than adding boost

But alone won't make any gains on an electroncially controlled diesel.

ive driven a 100 series td before and after 4" dump + 3" mandrel fitted.

you would be very surprised at how much difference it makes.
