    My stock turbo has finally reached 1million miles this past October (btw egr got modded back in 2014) the turbo actuator or the vpod is now acting up

    I figured why not replace the turbo with a borg warner 171702 and match it with a bully dog ceramic coated manifold, my question is since my ecm and all the other related egr crap got modded, can I just replace my current turbo with the bw 702 without doing any other tunes? Thanks

    The guy who modded the egr isn't picking up the phone, how would I know if he modded the vgt too while he was modding the ecm for the egr?

    Because your vgt wouldn't work correctly if he deleted it out of the program. And if you just go and put on a non vgt turbo like the 171702 you'll just get a bunch codes..

    Might be a good time to call Bruce @ Pittsburgh Power. Get the new turbo from a reliable mod shop. I’ve seen some of his work and was impressed, with his expertise and the results, verified by the dyno.
