just upgraded truck wow!!
Just added a few things:
Bhaf and smokey mount- of course i couldn't tell a diff in performance but I can hear the turbo better.
Cooler tubz- look real nice and are real easy to install, the intake is much much larger than stock.
DennyT Stg2- I was going to grind my own but after seeing his pin I had to have it real nice quality piece. Really woke the truck up.
DDP 40's- Like em, nice and easy install
haven't gotten every thing installed yet but will have in the next week. love the feel of the truck made me fall in love with it all over again. before the mods i was making around 16 psi boost and barely 1000 f egt. now i make about 26psi and just below 1100 f egt. The clutch started slipping but i think that was a function of age rather than power. I will be installing the pump spring, adjusting the pump and installing the pdr hx35 and a 16cm housing in the next week. I am debating on doing a 2nd gen intercooler or powerjoke i hope this will help with the egts. I haven't done any heavy towing yet so i am concerned with the egt's since in the next month or so i have to pick up a tractor in Oklahoma which is about a 1000 mile drive and i dont want to cook it. If you guys have any sugestions for anymore mods i should do throw em to me.

Them EGT numbers are pretty low then
I'd give it some timing with those injectors. You'll feel the full power and throttle response with a little timing. and it won't make you EGt's any higher, Usually a little timing advance makes them lower.
