Mods are done and WOW!!

Well the long wait is finally over and my truck is back on the road. I still have an ear to ear grin since yesterday afternoon. I can't beleive how much more powerful the truck is now. Romping on the throttle is an incredible experience even at the stock setting, never mind in the extreme mode! I would certainly recommend any and all of the mods that I completed on my truck: DIY 130cc Stage 1 injector kit, 1.0 turbo housing, gutted EBPV, modded pedestal, DIY IDM mod, 6 pos TW chip, and new up-pipes and gaskets from Dale @Tymar. Next up is a SD I/C and SD HPOP. Thanks for all the great advice and help from everyone here on The Stop.

Do you have custom tunes on your TS Chip, or just the ones they install?

I bought the chip used and it came with stock, econo, tow, heavy tow, wild & extreme. The truck that it came out of had similar mods ( intake, 4" exh, and Stage 1's). I will be sending the chip in for custom burning at some point. Probably when I do the I/C install. I tow a 24' TT that weighs in at 5-6K so I'll let ya know when I do that again. Hunting season is coming soon though.

Good deal. I was going to suggest you get custom tunes if you hadn't yet. You'll be glad you did
