Took a short drive and not to bad.

Did you use a pickup kit like I did or is it a van specific kit?

Same as you, a kit for the pickup. It was not too bad once I figured out what would work best.

24.5 MPG today. It sounds pretty good especially going through a tunnel.

Did you pull the doghouse to install the turbo downpipe?

Shooting codes ? Or is the EFI set to handle them ? 24.5 mpg and extra power is a wonderful thing!!!!!

nice! if I end up keeping mine I will be doing the same.

You do not have to pull the doghouse, plenty of room underneath. You have to dimple the downpipe due to a ear on the trans that will hit the pipe. Zero codes, you gotta love EFIlive. I am shooting for even higher mileage, I might even do a Gearvendor.

What mile per hour are you running to achieve those mpg's? My van is basically stone stock and has never got over 20mpg. This is running 70-75 straight interstate run. Wil

72 mph with the cruise is a close average.

Shop, I see on your van you deal in waste oil heaters. I have a coulpe questions if that is something you can help me out with. If so, what is the best way to get you. email, pm in here?? Thanks

pm sent.

what kit did you use and do you still run the cat / muffler ?

I used Diamond Eye exhaust system # K4114A. No cat but a muffler. It took alittle work but not bad. Just so you know I hit have 25 MPG.

You have to dimple the downpipe due to a ear on the trans that will hit the pipe.

Did you install a new downpipe or are you talking about the cat delete pipe? I was on the phone with one of the vendors in here, both of us reading this thread, and they thought you were talking about the cat delete pipe had to be dimpled. I think I'm gonna try mine straight, no muffler or cat.

The Diamond Eye # K4114A is a 4" down pipe back exhaust system with muffler. Where the downpipe bolts up to the turbo direct pipe there is a ear on the transmission bell housing that will contact the down pipe. If you go crawl under and look at your stock down pipe you will see where the pipe has been dimpled from the factory.

thanks for the info. as soon as I get a final decesion from gm on this van I'm going to start ordering. get everything I want done to the van before any equipment goes back in

Cool, got any pics?

Here is a couple of quick pics.

What kind of RPMs does the van turn at 70 mph?

Here is a couple of quick pics.
Looks like you got it figured out.

RPM is roughly 2,200 at 70.

did you get that gear vendors figured out?
