new to deisel mods?

Im kinda new to deisel mods I have just put a kn cold air intake , 4 inch exhaust and a edge evolution tuner on my 2000 f250, but now i have turbo surge and i need a wicked wheel my question is are mods just going to require other mods? Meaning one thing leads to another hope you all know what I mean.

An ATS Ported Housing will help alot more then the WW, it is about 400 or so dollars. Also you might want to consider a DP-Tuner with an overboost annilatior instead of the edge system.

Ditch the K & N Filter also! Not the best choice for Diesel's....research the 6637 on here. It's muuuuuch better!

welcome to FTE...like up there said..get rid of the K&n and do the 6637 Napa filter for around 50 bucks..then put in the wicked wheel and you should be good to go unless you want a lot more power..if the SES light bugs you then get the OBA from ITP diesel and you should be good to go..I would get rid of the edge for the dp tuner..it gives a lot better HP gains then the edge..ether way you are ok after this..that is if you have gauges already???there very important when moding and maintaining these trucks..

Also when you go with the DP tuner you might want to look into a BTS Value Body to firm up your shifts and save your tranny.

Don't feel like it's a waste......sell it on ebay! You should recover most of the cost

The 6637 or AIS set ups are about the best you can get for the money.

That is why eBay is your friend. People eat that name brand garbage up! Edge, Banks, K&N...the list goes on.
