Hey everyone. I just recently bought a 2001 ext-cab xlt lariat powerstroke diesel 4x4. I'm posting this thread to ask for help. I want to modify the truck far as power, including. Chips, programmers, exhaust, etc etc etc. So please help. Thanks.

 

power hungry performance is what i run, there great! tons of power, there called php, put 4 inch turbo back exhaust on it, but make sure you get gauges!!!

 

Whats your budget, what do you want to do with the truck, how is the truck used every day...

 

im not wanting to spend more than 3grand on upgrades

Okay everyone, The list i have so far of what im going to do...
1.ts 6 position chip
2.4inch turboback split into duals with 8inch tips in front of back tires
3.gauges
4.18inch black rockstar wheels with 31inch nitto tera grapplers
5.black westin bullbar
6.HID headlight conversion kit with all light covers smoked
7.black westin running boards
8.afe stage 2 cold air intake
9.xdp x wheel turbo compressor wheel
Thats all i have for now, someone please let me know if that is a decent setup. im slightly over budget with that but i think itll be worth it.

 

Chip... Power Hungry Performance is one of the site sponsers and one of the orignal tuners for the 7.3...

Intake... AFE-2 is fine, and flows great, but its expensive...

Gauges... My preference is Isspros EV-2's are great!

I would not mess with the compressor wheel, if you run into surge then go for a ATS ported housing or a 1.00 exhaust housing, both are more money, but do not effect performance like the wheel will (the wheel moves less air)

 

go with PHP for your tuning and never look back bud, i love mine from them, and i would ditch the wheel out of it and just get the ATS housing like said above, and also for the air intake just go with S&B its cheaper, or you can just make your own if you are a decent fabricator? best of luck man

 

Don't forget about your tranny. Better converter, more cooling, shift kit, hard parts for the auto and a good clutch for the manual.

 

i have a brand new tranny thats been upgraded by ford and is still under warranty so idw to mess with it at least until the warranty runs out and the reason for the ts chip and afe stage 2 is because i know a guy who runs a diesel performance shop and can get both plus him installing them for me for 550$. does anyone know how fleece turbos are with powerstroke?

 

Fleece turbos???

WTF is a Fleece turbo?

 

youve never heard of fleece performance? its sorta like efi live. its basically unheard of on anything except a dmax but they do make turbos for powerstroke.
