Looking for the most efficient mods to keep her running COOL I already have the bigger turbo inlet and am looking at doing the downpipe or intake.

To be honest I don't know a lot about these motors so I wanted to be pointed in the right direction. I will be towing my camping trailer and would like to not worry about my egts ect... I am also looking into getting a display. Thanks for the help guys

I do have to smog it also I am in So Cal so keep that in mind

Downpipe won't buy you much, maybe 50 degrees off EGTs, but everything helps. CAI helps, trans cooler helps (takes some of the load off the radiator), cleaning the cooling stack helps.

^^^^ This. I have never had an overheat or EGT issue on my LLY. Even when I lived in Nevada & Idaho both are plenty hot in the summertime.

That may be a while down the road
what would a twin setup cost something somewhat conservative
I have to go visit MIKE L first

Ppe down pipe is carb legal and comes with a e.o. sticker for smog time. S&b intake is also smog legal and comes with a e.o. sticker.
Block the egr with a plate so you can remove it at smog time. Blocking the egr will help lower egt's a little and keep the soot out of the intake.
Get a auto cal so you can flash back to stock if you have to.
Do not delete anything if you don't want to reinstall for smog time.

Thanks MIKE. I always see the efr block plate floating around. Are there any negative to doing this or things that could go wrong?

I am going to get an intake and downpipe then... I ditched the muffler and turned the exhaust down before my axle. Would love to loose the kitty but smog....
