Yeah either the Ford dealership hear is run by crooks or the guy I talked to on the phone was wrong. But yeah I only have one chipped key so I can't do the home program thing. But MPT fixed the issue for free when I bought my tunes. Well I guess it wasnt free but it was included in the price of the tunes

Now I'd trade the 150 for this beast. My first truck was a lifted 71 J4000. Love me some FSJ's!

So my friend is turboing his 2012 VW golf with the 2.5 I5 engine. Yesterday we were at the junk yard and pulled an old td04hl turbo off a late 90s volvo for his project. He's gonna rebuild it (shaft still has 0 play) and do a 19t conversation and then he is pretty much done with the turbo swap other than the tune. He only paid 100 for the turbo and waste gate yesterday at pick and pull and only has about a grand in the whole project and it got me thinking. I know IDB is doing a TT set up, but it got me thinking. How hard and how much money would it take to do a single or TT set up on our trucks. I know it cost about 2 grand or less to do a lightning swap, do yall think a turbo can be done for cheaper than that?
