I sold it a few months ago with all of the exhaust intact.
The guys deleting these newer trucks are crazy. There is plenty of power from the factory to pull anything they are rated for. Adding more will only break things and cost you more money.
Your level of understanding diesels and their emissions systems is sorely lacking and/or misinformed.
Or in other words you just posted a short paragraph of complete Barbara Streisand.
PS if you needed a new turbo (likely just the vgt actuator and bought one that was not designed to be used with stock programming then that has nothing to do with emissions system deleting, you just bought the wrong turbo for what you wanted out of the truck)
That said, you also had Basically Dodges worst example of tier iv emissions reliability. Since it was a second year Tier IV model.
