Default Detune?

OK guys I'm going to detune for a while until I can get the funds rolling in again. My current set up is in my sig. If I go to a 5 plate and 191 dv's and hook up my waste gate that will be a pretty decent drop, right?

I'd like to keep my injectors for now just so I don't have to buy a new set later and I really don't want to go all the way back to stock. I just want to get rid of some fueling mods so I don't have so much.

So 5 plate, 191 dv's, and hook up the waste gate.... Good idea? Or is that set-up not a good idea? Is this going to be a lot of fuel still? What ya all think?

Just move the plate and afc back and tighten down the starwheel.

Because this thing keeps eating head gaskets like candy! I've got maybe 3500 miles on a fresh rebuild and blown 2 gaskets already. I'm sick of it! If I knew I could get decent money from the damn thing I'd just sell it! I've owned this truck for right at 3 years and have only put 13k miles on it. The rest of the time it has been broke in some way.

I just want the Reliable 12v that everyone talks about. LoL

45psi boost, this is why I want to hook the gate back up.

No studs

No fire or o-ring

I don't have the cash for any of them that's why I'm wanting to detune.

Here's a few pics of the gasket I just pulled off.

Well, you see its kinda complicated, if I buy you a set then I'm gonna have to buy everyone a set. So ah yea, you see my point here, sorry bud...

Guess I'll just detune then.




I'm seriously thinking of just putting a gasket on it and selling it.
