    One thing I am struggling with, is I see 15" on my restriction gauge with new air filter. Might have to increase duct size.

    @jamespmack you want the new extended tip switzer style for improve low end response.
    And for @Mz335i you should have a waste gate, and EGR engine unless you will need to tune for no EGR and all that fun stuff. Without ecm running non waste gate turbo is useless.

    Thanks for the advise. I will check it out. Not really to worried about low end, I accelerate pretty slow. I need to get my extra box reprogrammed. It needs more fuel for that turbo. Long story only 518hp to the ground currently. Matter of taking a day and driving over and seeing a guy.

    Nothing new about extended tip. Borgwarner has had that design for a long time.

    Is the gauge on the dash? I don't see how this is possible with twin breathers unless they are over a year old.
