You can't do that, I don't think? The stock tune is just that - the stock tune (WITH DPF only). I haven't tried it though.

you have to run a tune to get the dpf delete.

The econo tune does not add hp, just some timing. It is almost stock, that is close as you can get.

I am running the Stealth 2 with Econo tune DPM delete and after 2 weeks of running I'm getting a clean filter now message with reduced power. Any suggestions on what to do?

Clean and tape your plugs real good and download quads newest updates if you haven't already.

Yeah. Sounds like you need to update the programmer. Plug it in.

What intake are you running? If you increase the flow out, you must increase it in.

Stock intake is more than enogh flow. the turbo is going to pull what it can pull. Intake might help it spool quicker. No hp gain. Also which exhaust are you getting T-back or dpf back? DPF tunes or not?

I got an mbrp stainless turbo down pipe back. With quad DPF delete. Hope it helps with power and mpg.

I have the 2.1 110 Hp version. I will down load the newer one. Also are you talking about tapeing the plugs that were connected to the DPF. Currently they are just hanging free.

Yes tie wrap (Zip Tie) them up and tape or wrap them with something.

Several threads here about it. Just search on DPF.

I am up a solid 2.1 mpg across the board. From idle on up.

The power is whatever you choose. You can select the Economy, +50, +70, +90, +110 or +135 rear-wheel HP increase. +90 will take a bit of time to kill your stock trans. +110 will do it quite soon. +135 will kill it almost immediately.

Don't want to give any misleading info but if you go with the trans go jr Mike L at Inglewood trans. says 110 tune is safe for everyday driving and playing around with folks on the street. Maybe he can chime in and say it himself.

I just got back from a trip. 588 miles towing my 16-17k toy hauler. set in the 50hp tune and no dpf. this by fare seems the best setting for towing and better mpg all around. you can really see the change in the mid range pull say 50-65 mph there isnt that drag with the load ... average mpg 11.8.. as it stands the no dpf and stealth for about 12k on the truck has performed very well.
