It still has the vg turbo and the egr cooler.

Stealers$its gave me a ballpark of 350 to have it flashed back to OEM. I have an Inline 6 and laptop. Would I need Insite or CT? Also would OEM have a stock tune or would I have to get it tuned?

I spoke to previous owner who said he used the truck for a year in this configuration before letting it sit for an additional year.

It has to all come aparty and be inspected to see if it is 100% hollow to the metal (as free-flowing as possible), or if some complete idiot has only partially hollowed it, or done some other stupid things.

Previous owner said he was given a box to throw out when it was done. He said the box only contained what was cut out of the filter.

Hopefully its not too late for me. I haven't been running it very hard since I got it. I'm sure its pretty stupid to be running it at all but hopefully I can get this fixed with this weeks check.
