high EGT's
Question I have an 05 5.9 4x4 with a Edge Attitude tuner with a 180 hp on it AFE blade runner intake manifold and a Afe stage 2 cold air intake. Is a 5" exhaust from the turbo back going to cause me problems?

Welcome to DTR!!

Shouldn't cause any problems but probably won't help any either. What kind of temps are you seeing?

If your trying to drop EGT's on a 180hp tune you need a turbo, exhaust won't drop it.

Sounds normal for what your trying to do with the stock turbo.

Agreed.

You're going to need a bigger turbo!
