im doing a HG job on 08

the truck has a h&s 300 tune KEM
so i plan on runing ARP studs
i talked to rudys and they said i can run a custom tune and EGR block off and dirt D elbow and cold side pipe.
is this a good choice?
A: run stock coolers (no delete)
B: rudys egr block off,dirty D elbow,cold side pipe and custom tune
C: rudys waste gate kit,elbow,cold side pipe

what is the plus runing a wastegate is it needed on a stock turbo setup?

thanks for input

What does the customer want?
For most people an EGR delete would suffice, if he wants to push it then a WG kit would be desired...

get rid of the coolers, and run a no limit intake kit. no wg needed, but is advised.

I personally don't think a wastegate is needed with stock turbo's unless you add more fuel or spray nitrous. Where back pressure is an issue, a wastegate will do no good anyway. Low boost, high RPM.

for this stock set up is it worth the extra change
if so iv gota explain it to this guy

i mean stock as no internals only tuner mod

the intake kit i have built , does not speak to any hp gains, as i have not done any back to back testing. but the flow characteristics are much better than anything else currently available. i had the dd setup, and would not feel comfy putting it on anything else i own. no dis on rob, just once i looked at the angles, i wasnt happy.

on your way MIKE

What are your plans for the truck?

If all you are planning to do is the basic mods....DO NOT run a wategate. IMO they are difficult to tune right and can seriously effect power levels in a positve or negative way.
Its all in how or who tunes the gates.

Just do Mikes pipe, egr delete, tuner, intake, and exhaust. Id imagine your customer would be really happy.

Doesnt most wastegates require retweaking per tune in order to be spot on

If you run a WG with a stock set up its fairly easy to tune it in.

You won't really need it, like mentioned before. EGR delete with those new pipes that just came out should have your buddy squared away
