Definately...get Jody to add some extra tip-in, adjust your shift points and add the downshift to your chip. My van turbo has almost zero lag now! It made a WORLD of difference in my truck's response and drivablity. I had him re-tune everyone of my tunes that way, its worth every penny!

Got it installed and the red and green hoses plugged off. Up-pipes connected. Haven't checked the spider hoses for leaks yet but that is next.
Seems like my boost is off. Going about 55, I got EGT of about 700 and boost about 3-5 psi depending on the grade. Is this normal? I thought the EGTs should run cooler or is that only at higher RPM?
Anyone who has installed it, what have you noticed? TIA

x2 on the tune tweaking. Makes a world of difference. Might not need live tuning with stock injectors unless you have issues, but once you upgrade injectors live tuning can fine tune those puppies in.

Just did a check today, didn't want to guess over the weekend. At 55 mph I am at 500-550 EGT's on the flats with 2 lbs of boost.

I don't need live tuning. I WANT live tuning.
However, I will do that when I get AC code injectors. Hopefully by then, Jody is set up for live tuning AND injector installation. Just so you know. I will tell the wife that we NEED live tuning because it saves fuel, better results and the usual crap.

Thanx. I will check it again when I take it out for a break in drive.

I think I'm closer than Kris is, here in central MO.
I was a little nervous venturing into the unknown when I did my injectors, but after having done them once, it would be a pretty quick install a second time around.
