GET STACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stock turbo can go up to 40 psi but in opinion stay below 35 psi for safety.
its better if u do exhaust first then cold air intake then programmer (smarty with edge).

good luck with diesel guys and welcome to diesel

well biggest question is, is it a 98 or 98.5, if its the 98.5 then a programmer will work. If its not then there's some mech things you can do but I'm not the one to ask about that.

If it's a 98 (12v engine) check into propane injection. I've heard they respond very well.
As far as cutting out the muffler and adding a tip, it'll be louder- don't know about better.
The turbo from the car will be way undersized for this engine, so leave it in the garage.
