2006 turbo lag

I am looking for inexpensive way to get rid of turbo lag. (under $300) Seems to be 3 to 4 seconds of nothing when you hit the gas. I know diesels have hesitation but this seems bad at times. Hard pulling out in busy traffic. Any recommendations? Thanks

I had the same problem with my 06. i just bought it 2 months ago and hated it... i have since installed a programmer wich did not help all that much, but now...

i installed a 4" turbo back exh. and as soon as i backed out of the driveway after installing them i knew it was way better. Greatly improved throttle responce and feels like it is way more responsive...

Just my .02

might be a little over 300 bucks but not as much as you might be thinking...

Two things you can do for under $300. Mod the EGR up-pipe but it requires an SCT to prevent CEL or codes. FICM tuning with either Power Hungry Performance or Innovative Diesel.
