Strap on a bigger turbo, and your going to have to get more fuel in the motor so those stock injectors aren't going to let you get there easily, if at all. Maybe a big air filter as a cold air intake, bigger intake pipe to the turbo.

But there is not much more to do free once you get past the free tune.

Do you have a pin in at all? From what everyone claims what they get after a pin and mods I would say getting close to 230 maybe. But ya really cant say cuz each truck varies so much, but lower 200's is around where ya would be.

Here is what i'm judging it off of.

A fuel pin is only around $105 for a DennyT or M&H. And that will bump ya up on power.

You are running gauges right?

You already need um' need to see what your running with that motor so you can see what else you need so you don't burn a piston. Bigger intercooler to lower egt's will give ya more power. Find a used 2000 Powerstroke intercooler.

This has a lot of info too, a little more than our sticky I think.
