You still running stock turbo? What kind of boost/EGT's are you seeing? You tow with that thing? How's it do?

Stock turbo

27# on diesel, 30+ with nitrous (30# gauge)

I peg a 1500 degree gauge for 8-10 seconds on a 1/4 mile run with nitrous

I don't have a problem keeping it under 1250 degrees towing up to 26K combined using the lower HP settings on the Juice box and running a zero tune on the Quad tuner

I towed a 32' enclosed gooseneck trailer from MI to KY to the DHRA div3 opener. I unhooked the trailer, raced, took 2nd in the ProStreet Heads up Class (12.05@112.21), hooked back up to the trailer and went back home.

I normally tow pulling tractors in the trailer weighing in at 20-26K combined. At 20K combined I went from MI to MS to a pull last Dec. I set the cruise and the truck never downshifted out of OD on the way there or back. The truck will tow the trailer at any speed you want.
