Help with what mods I should get!

[Brewha]

So I just picked up a 2002 f250 powerstroke and this is what I'm thinking about doing to my truck first. Any input on what I should change and add greatly appreciated. If you could think of ruff price tags so I could know what it will cost that would also be great.

Exhaust: Mbrp Turbo back

Intake: AFE

Chip: Sct

Guages: Not sure yet

I know this isnt much but this is all I can afford right now. In a few months I will do more.

I would suggest a different package, cheaper and much better results.

Exhaust..whatever cheapest as it doesn't make any difference.

Intake..the best a Tymar intake kit.

Chip a TS with custom tunes by TW or Cale@BTS

Isspro, best match and great quality.

We can set you up with whats needed. Please PM me if I can help.

I agree with him on the exhaust, intake and 6 pos chip. I don't know much about cales, but I use Elite diesel tunes. They shift great and work good for everything from towing, daily drivin, and playin. You might want to think about a wicked wheel or compressor housing for the turbo surge that might come from tuning your truck. As far as gauges I use glow shift, some don't like them. Mine work for me and I got them as a christmas present or I would of went with isspro

how do you guys say no exhaust helps I know for a fact my temps dropped atleast 100 degrees when installing a 4in exhaust or are you saying whatever brand you will get results.. My thinking is on the glow shift why use a 40 dollar gauge to protect a 10,000 dollar motor ? and I would check into PHP Tunes

i like your thinking, gauges is one thing not to skimp on, get a good quality gauge, i run isspro personaly
and even the $300 ebay exhaust will yeild results
i know summit sells a cold air intake for about $105 for the 7.3, not sure of the quality tho. i run TS tunes but wish i had gone with PHP. ill know the next time i go to buy a chip

Will my gauges all read pretty close to my buddys isspro gauges to see if they read any different. As far as the exhaust, I ment do a 4in kit but don't go spend more then you have to. All the exhaust are close to the same, besides what type of materail it's made out of.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll look into the suggestions you guys made and probably go with them.

I did a diy intake on my truck for less than $50. I found the good donaldson filter locally and just used a piece of pipe left over from the MBRP 4" exhaust kit I installed. I installed the autometer gauges and like them alot. Next up is a 6 position chip from PHP and a trans cooler from a 6.0. Then I am done for now.

look into beans tunin beansdieselperformace.com, 6637 for intake, gauges i would get isspro performax, probably a valve body and a 6.0 tranny cooler. any 4" exhaust will work

Or you can go with the cleanable version of the 6637 which is the AFE Big boost
