Any updates to this thread? Were you able to do the turbo install yourself? Any other issues to date with the tuned setup?

I did, but I had one of the exhaust connections that I could not get sealed correctly. It is not easy to see back there.I took it to dealer and had them fix it. The tech showed me that they remove the passenger side front tire and inner fender to access the clamps behind the turbo. Would I try it again, if I had a few days to kill, yes. If I'm busy, then no, it would go to my dealer for the $1100.00 labor . It is all working well now though and I have about 55k on the truck.

That's good to hear. Is the programmer similar to a mustang with regards to user options? What I mean is are the DPF and DEF deletes user options within the tuner or are you deleting them by loading a custom tune? Hope that makes sense.

I recently had a CEL come on in my 2011. It has to do with the DEF tank high circuit BS. I'm thinking about deleting. How much smoke does yours make? I'm looking to make the least amount of smoke as possible. Thanks.

Mine an SCT X4 with PIP tunes. The street tune is pretty peppy and has really nice street manners with very little smoke. The performance has a decent amount of smoke, but the Extreme tune can fog 20 Prius' at once in downtown Austin traffic. Lol

Hit 347k today!

Have not had to touch the motor transmission or front end.

Damn. I just cleared 61k last month. I was looking at 5 Star tunes not too long ago too.

I bought a new truck 1.5 years ago but Old Red here still going strong with my son driving it at 560k now.
