Getting the upgrades

Well, finally bit the bullet and I'm getting the upgrades to the rig. Just in time (read below)

Was getting the dreaded wrench light when towing up hills and getting the under/overboost codes.

So, getting the oil cooler with coolant filter, egr cooler delete, studs, heads reworked, new upgraded push rods, getting the turbo cleaned, 4 in turbo back MBRP exhaust and SCT tuner.

Just talked to the shop, when they pulled the heads they found a small blow by on the head gasket, so I guess even the blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while so guess I got lucky on this one!
