[lly dmax]

how much will it add. what else could i do.

Modify your cp3 and install a lbz mouthpiece

I wouldn't bother porting the heads jmo

It all depends on setup. Porting and polishing them will take some time but should see lower egts increases ariflow etc.

Well because if he is asking about porting he is obviously not going to do it him self ( I'll assume) so now he is going to pay a shop to do it?not free

And for what? I bet he wouldn't even notice any difference with a stock turbo
Jmho

I'm pretty sure Henry creatures of the night sells them

There is diy Post on how to mod ur regular and suct pump on the cp3 and it's good time to do while the truck is apart

Not sure what your plans are for the truck but one thing I would do while you have it apart, although not free, is put a set of head studs in. In case you end up with twins down the road. You gotta buy or should buy new head bolts anyhow.

 

[lly dmax]

well i dont have many plans for it. i have an edge juice but no attitude so its only 90 horse, but i want to put a intake system and maybe a small fuel system on it. but i was just wondering about any cheap or free things i can do to help out if there really is any.

pcv reroute what yr do u have

Remove the EGR completely. You can have your up-pipe welded shut fairly cheap or do it your self if you can weld stainless. Make a plate to bolt onto the the back of the egr motor to seal it up. Re-route your PCV to the atmosphere. And since you will have all that gone you can clean up everything in the intake tract that got all gummed from it. I would also pull your intercooler out and clean all the oily residue out of it, and the boost tubes.

This may not gain you any HP, but it certainly wont hurt, and its just a good idea to do while your in there.

Don't mod your regulator unless you willing to pay for custom tuning, buy efi live, or put up with a possible "lopey" idle.
