My truck goes in next monday to get the following done.

Studs
Gaskets
EGR delete
new oil cooler
tune
4" exhaust

Im also getting a p0275 code so im going to have them look into that. So a possibility of new injectors is on the list also.

Looks great! Make sure and do all the updates as well. Turbo oil feed / drain lines, sct fittings etc.

Add a coolant filter and blue spring, pretty cheap mods


Not sure on how far you plan to build your truck but it may be worth while to save the money on the blue spring and upgrade straight to a regulated return.
If you plan to upgrade your injectors, you will want to have a regulated return anyway

Thumbs up on the coolant filter

Let me know if I can help on injectors. You can always send yours in to me as soon as its torn down will do whatever you want to them or just go through them and test them and send them right back to you.

It's like $80 from most places I've seen, for the full kit. Not too bad IMO. And personally, from the little I know now, I'd say you'd be safe w/ up to a 175 or even 190cc(upper limit) injector. Now, I want to do 190s, so I'm planning to do a rr, but again, $80 for a little insurance, worth it IMO.
