Custom Burned Chip?

Im looking to find me another chip. Right now im running a Diablo Sport chip in my 99 f-250 Sd 5.4 ltr v-8. This summer im planning on custom building a pair of Garrett t-3 turbos to fit the truck as is. Running no more than 10 pounds of boost. My question fallson can i get achip burned to convince the truck to run like it should without the turbos? like mke it knowthey are present but not care liek throw sensors and what not? Also i put bigger tires on and i need to get the comutr speedomitor fixed too. Is any of this possible? I just want ot buy a new chip have it burned this way if it doesnt work out i can go back to the old chip. Thanks for your time.

Custom Burned Chip?

The turbos will require a custom chip in order to keep the fuel mixture correct. You can REALLY run too lean with turbo/super charging. I believe most forced injection systems have the option of getting a chip directly through them. You can save some bucks by sending the existing chip to us (or another dealer) and having us reprogram it with the custom changes (including tire and speedo correction).
