I installed my Edge EZ last night. Wow... impressive!

I was shocked to see lower EGT's on setting 1 & 2 with the added power and setting 3 matching EGT to what I saw before the Edge went in.

This weekend I'll put on the MBRP 4" which should help lower those EGT's even more. I sure hope I get quicker turbo spool up as that seems to be the only thing lacking.

But again... impressive the power increase.

Congrats. You officially now have the addiction to coal.

If you want more boost. Get a PPE boost increase valve. You will surely notice then, but wait until the exhaust is on. Get a turbo back.

Soon on your list will be gauges (a must), and a tranny (a must with more than 70-100hp over stock), then a lift pump (for helping cp3 out a little), it never ends.

That avatar is funny man.

I've had the gauges on for two years which is how I monitored EGTs prior and after Edge install. The only other mod to do is the exhaust sitting at the house waiting for my time to install. My toy budget stops there as the rest of the money goes into a new bow for archery season.

an aftermarket intake would help your turbo spool up a little faster too

Well I put on the exhaust today. Yep, it lowered the EGTs a few hundred.

I would prefer a bit quieter system as I don't care to much about the in cab sound but can live with it. It went in pretty easy with minimal tools. I decided to not hassle with removal that much and broke out the sawzall as I can mig in the old one at any time if needed.

It did help with turbo spool but more important is the EGTs and how it lowered them.

Over all happy with the upgrades and should get me by for a few more years till I need to upgrade something, either truck or more toys.

Now on to saving up for that new bow for next years archery season....
