I met up with mike this afternoon and used his superchips to put my truck back to stock, then used that one to program mine. I was afraid that it was going to be vin-locked, but it wasn't.
So for now I have a programmer of my own, and I figured, what the hey, lets try the performance tune.. I got surge and smoke .. YEAH
the tuner has a usb port for updates, and when I updated it, it added a special mileage tune, so I'll probably run that a while and see how she does..
Plenty of folks have done the wheel with it on the truck, but I prefer to pull it off. That way you can gut the EBPV housing at the same time.....and you don't have to jam a screwdriver into your turbine wheel to hold it in place to get the intake wheel off.
Not sure how I missed this thread for two weeks.....but good score!

WOW--that's a heckuva score. Let me know what kind of turbo parts you want. I may be able to get you a better deal. I do have those kind of connections guys.

Probably just a wicked wheel, unless you can get a set of bellowed pipes on the cheap.. or a ported housing
On a side note.. I think the superchips fixed my lie-o-meter. Its back to reading 17-23mpg, which is roughly what it was showing when the truck was still stock.
I'll know when I run this tank of fuel out, may take a while at my rate..
I can actually drive it now though, picked up a couple of 1000/850 batteries at sams this weekend, they really spin her over.
