What mod to do next

What do you guys suggest one that is relatively cheap 100-200 that will help the truck as far as performance and longevity. I have VB Exhaust Guages intake and Dp. Im going to be doing the hutch and harpon and possibly a lift pump with filter.

Do you have surge problems with just the wicked wheel... on mine the WW eliminated my surge...but the ATS housing would make it whisltle alot more... For a couple hundred you could get a oil bypass system for the motor or tranny... or a coolant filter?? Maybe do the Air Intake Heater delete???

good luck,
Steven

As a fellow Nevadan , I'd suggest that you put on the AIS air filtration system due to all the dust that is in our air and the dirt roads we go down...none better and your turbo will love the clean air.

I vote the Hutch and HX crossover, you'll notice a huge difference across the board. Then take it from there.

I agree. Not only the turbo, but the cyl walls wont get sanded down over time. That is one dusty state. Say... is the pylon still the state tree in NV ?

I really do like NV though and try to take my dune buggy there as much as possible. Moon Rocks is awesome.

AIS is a great idea too.

I just ordered my prepump and HPX today. After the noticeably quieter results from switching to synthetic, I can only imagine the results that this will give.
