2015 3.0 turbo lag

[Cur]

New to having diesel just seeing what everyone recommends for the turbo lag … should I just delete the egr and def? Or is there other options thanks for time

Get a tune. The emissions system has nothing to do with turbo lag

Ok I appreciate your advice and time

2nd the tune suggestion - that initial delay from a dead stop is actually programmed in. Post tune, it ceases to exist.

I have a Pedal Commander, works great and the truck is a lot more responsive.

Get a tune. MRTuning is very good. I’ve run several tunes and I like MRTuning best. Also recommend their trans tune.

EGR causes the lag. Try unplugging the EGR and see the difference. You’ll get a CEL but it will run much better. Be sure the engine is off when you unplug the EGR to ensure it is in the closed position.

Oh, since we're talking about pedal upgrades for the electronic throttle body - I did a review on a product I received a few weeks back - still running it every day in "Sport +" mode and makes the drive soooo much more enjoyable. This is paired with an SFT Stage 1 Tune.
