so i put together my ultimate wishlist for this truck to turn it into a little speed demon diesel, totaling right around 14,000$ haha. sad part is, 9,000$ of that, would be for the 3800$ GDE upgraded turbo, and the 4800$ H&S Compound Turbo kit.
my question is, why is it so expensive for these...
so i consistently get aroun 24-25 mpg on the highway, and 23.5 - 24 mpg around town. the other day i was idling for about 30 minutes in a parking lot, (92deg F* outside) and then drove backroads home. i dropped to 22 mpg. the next trip i took, i hammered it on the local highway for about 10...
after a bunch of research yesterday, it only replaces the filter and housing, none of the rest of the tubing, therefore not touching the sound dampener etc in the stock crap. ive decided that it is not worth the money, to get the sound i want out of the turbo, ill just buy the aFe and be done...
