I do a lot of towing long distances, but when not traveling, most of my miles are still on the interstate, just with no load.
I'm trying to balance towing without too much strain on the truck and enjoy driving it when I'm not working.
I have lifetime tuning with GDP, so getting a return is no issue.
No cost issue, at least, and getting GDP on the phone and getting the tune from them is a different story.
One more side note you mentioned about the WC Fab kit: I frequently have issues with it are constant boot and t-bolt adjustment due to boost leaks from misalignment between my turbo and intercooler.
I've tried clocking the housing and switching from WC fab boots to high-pressure silicone to silicone intake.
Different brands and different lengths seem not to make much difference.
The other issue is my air filter of the WC Fab is not in a box due to room under the hood, so the fan and belt throw dirt, dust, and debris directly onto the air filter, causing it to need cleaning much more often than most.
I would love to hear from anyone who has tried the turbonator VGT housing on a similar size turbo.
