Chip or micro-processer is a good move. The exhaust is a waste unless you are going with a different turbo. The waste gate is only 3 1/2, any exhaust bigger then that is worthless. Chuck

I have a K&N filter and chipped and I get 21 mpg out of a Dually. If your exhaust is small like my truck I think a small gain my be had there.

We get about 22 mpg around here with our Diesel. Mid 20's on highway, lose about 1 mpg pulling the boat. Chuck
