Hey guys I just put a 15 charger in 13 truck Friday first time I've done the swap I was under the impression that we can do the swap without ******** anything else. So the truck is 100% stock except the 15 turbo. I was having issues with a wastegate check engine light. So I had ********** write some tunes for it and now I don't have a check engine light but I do have a low boost and serious lag issues. It only sees 16psi max. I'm going to put the scanner on it tomorrow and see if there is anything obviously wrong. But I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue or has successfully swapped a 15 turbo in a stock truck. Cause what I keep hearing is it won't work with the *** on it. Thanks in advance

emissions present tuning with a 15 turbo can be a nightmare. ive seen it a couple times.

So I talked to Eric he thinks we messed something up. The the truck runs good if we unplug the wastegate control solenoid but throws a check engine light. If we leave it plugged in it clicks really loud. Also the e....g.....r...t senor 1 reads -40 but the truck doesn't have that sensor I don't think. The old rh manifold and up pipe didn't have a spot for a temp senor the new pipe has a spot though. Any advice would be awesome thanks

The hole in the new RH up pipe just gets plugged unless you are adding an external egt sensor
