Good day, I have my personal truck, 2013 6.7, I am updating the turbo to a 2017 with a a Wicked wheel compressor. I am looking to make changed to the computer to match the new turbo but am unsure exactly what to do. I am also curious if the prior tune that is in the computer will be able to be changed with out messing any of the original tune. I have heard that HP will put back all the EGR and DEF files if they were previously removed. Truck was like this when I purchased it. I have read the truck and had no problems there. I have seen some people have just copied the turbo files from a 16 and pasted into the 13 . Would I not need to also adjust the fuel and timing to make this work right? I have very little tuning experience with engines and almost none on diesel. I have HP for making adjustments on transmissions, mainly 6L80/90 after we build them.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Greg

Reason: adding tune file
Hey there!
Long story short. If your truck has been removed from the emission systems and you're planning on building a tune, read you ecu and then just do whatever changes you need to that file and flash it back. As long as you keep using the same "base" file, you're good if to build a tune over that. Do not flash any other file that's not the one you currently have. If you do so, that other file may not have the emissions turned off and you'll be stuck in derate.
Thank you, This is what I was planning on doing was just unsure what HP was going to do in the back ground as the rumors I have heard are saying that they are putting the deleted files back in without telling you. Now just need to figure out what changes to make.
Thanx
Give this a try. This is what I have come up with on my 2013. I have a 2019 turbo (stock) and this works well. I didn't touch the smoke control tables, fueling or timing. I also disabled the wastegate code since that doesn't exist on the newer turbos.
I have some turbo brake programmed in when you release the throttle. It's easy to remove in the driver demand tables.
