New to duramax, need help
 
I just bought a 2008 6.6 duramax 4 door, I'm looking for alittle upgrades, I like the efi live and exhaust. What kind of intake do y'all recommend or no intake? I want this truck to get good mpg and power when I need it. Anything will help! Any upgrades

The intake on LMMs are good your money would be better spent on other things.

What is turbo braking and egr? And about how much?

Turbo braking now comes on new Duramaxes it helps reduce wear on pads and rotors by changing the vanes on the turbo to slow the truck with less brake pedal.Egr exhaust gas return is another emission thing that craps up your oil quicker and can be tuned out like the DPF when you have EFI live.EFI live can come with 2 differnt tunes with the base package and 5 diffrent tunes on the upgraded version.The tunes you get are up to you,many get a economy tune with DPF delete and EGR block for one and A towing tune with +80 hp with turbo brake for the other.
