im new to diesels and was wondering is there was anyway to get more black smoke if my truck is stock. i read in another thread that some guy removed the fuel plate and blocked his waste gate. i have no idea what that means but if i did it would it give me more smoke?

I thought if you put a smoke switch on a stock truck it would throw codes and not run

If you unhook the MAP sensor it will throw a code.

Sorry, but a boost fooler will do nothing without adding fuel also.
A boost fooler only keeps the computer from throwing an overboost code when more fuel has been added.
More fuel=More boost
