Boost and pyro should be priorities.
What did labor end up costing? Can you post or pm me the shop that did the work and guy who did the remote tune? Always looking for good shops/mechanics.

So labor totaled 1200, this included turbo and manifold change plus changing the entire main ECM wire harness (it was hell changing it), they had to go behind the engine and do some crazy acrobatics to go to places I could never imagine lol this harness ran from the front of the truck all the way back to the battery box and also connected above the transmissionLast edited: Feb 1, 2019

Update
I fueled up last night to the brim and idled for 11hrs at 700rpm, I used up 10.465 gallons, I'm definitely getting a apu this month or march, I should've been bought a apu back in 2012 but I didn't think much of it. I can't believe I wasted all them fuels over the years -
About right.. its always been a rule of thumb a gallon an hour for running your truck at night. You just figured this out now?

Update since I did these upgrades I've put on 82,916 miles from February 2 2019 to December 31 2019, I've purchased total of 11,387 gallons of fuel which translates to 7.28 mpg, I also purchased an apu around early march last year which helped reduce idle hrs. In comparison I got 6.7 all miles in 2018.
Also majority of the 4th quarter last year I was running northwest parts of the country hauling heavy.
I solely did these upgrades b/c my factory turbo and vpod were going bad, switching to Borg and a little tune up got me more power and a little improvement in mpg and it was cheaper than OEM turbo and VPod -
