Ok guys, would love some opinions on my next steps. I am new here, so please let me know if this is wrong section or how better to ask questions.
You can see my rig in my signature. I am running stock injectors/turbo and mostly stock everything else except the upgraded 47re (ATS stage 2) which at least thus far has been great.
I am looking mostly for reliable towing a decently heavy 10k bumper pull toy hauler up around CO passes so at elevations 7-11k feet. Right now it feels like I need a little more hp as I am having to downshift and reduce speed to 30ish mph while on continued 6-7% grades in order to control egts. (will get over 1200 then I back off), trans and coolant temps have been fine.
My question is what would be my next steps. I have considered an edge ez, but am not sure that would really help all that much with egts. I have also considered a tuner that taps the wire like a quad adrenaline which would provide more options on specific fuel/canbus tunes. I am getting max 25 psi boost from my turnbuckled hy35, (also have boost fooler installed) have checked for boost leaks and found a tiny pinhole in the intake boot that I will be replacing. No other leaks.
The truck runs great and I think the stock injectors are fine- if I don't have to, don't really want to replace. I know the hy is a small turbo- would it be worth changing that out? what else should I be considering?
Thanks all for any advice for a noob
