Well took my first trip from MA-PA and back. 600 miles round trip. Previously I towed with the Spartan 250. Since adding the 71mm low pressure turbo. I decided to tune down a little. Ran the 210 Tow late lock. For the most part, First time I have ran a tune less then the 250.
The truck was a little stronger than with the 250/ stock turbo. Ran perfect, smooth, smokeless even getting on the throttle at low rpms. GCVW of 21k. Only issue came when I stopped for fuel. The spartan 210 Makes 50psi boost WOT. I am guessing that is not normal for a tow tune on a stock truck? I went from 10mpg average on multiple other trips with the same trailer/ load. Down to 8.5mpg. Now I'm not sure is that is from the turbo or the tune. Next trip I will take with the 250 tune.
