Which Tuner? 99 Powerstroke
Encore 280:
Just checked the brand on mine that the shop put in, it's a S & B system.
syoungs:
I ran a hydra in my 99. liked it alot better then the edge my buddy had, and being able to switch tunes on the fly was pretty nice.
I run a SCT device on my 6.7, its nice, but I wish it was a hydra for simplicity.
MR5x5:
I'd suggest you spend some time on this site. Tons of knowledge.

Do you have gauges? definitely a good idea if running chipped. Pressure and EGT at least... I suspect your power loss problem is the ECU de fueling do to excessive boost - if memory serves the ECU kicks in around 25 psi which any decent tune will blow through. If that is the case then you can put a boost fooler ahead of that sensor - it is basically a little regulator that limits what the pressure sensor sees.
The EBPS that was replaced controls the exhaust back pressure valve which in theory helps the truck warm up faster. If you ever hear the "jet engine" noise when the truck is idling cold that is the exhaust back pressure valve kicking in. A lot of people unplug the valve at the turbo pedestal as it really does not seem to do anything but be annoying...
spoonman:
Edge is a good one. Put a better exhaust on the truck before your turbo gets torched!
Cylvertip:
Still chasing the bug. Truck has a boost fooler. Thought maybe it was plugged. Cleaned it up and made sure everything was positioned correctly . Still had the issue. Then tried disconnecting the tube from the sensor altogether. Still have the issue. Truck runs fine other wise. Just has an issue if you pin it to the floor for more than a second or two. Normal driving is not an issue. Concern is what will happen when towing a heavy load up a big hill or that it will it degrade to a point where it affects normal driving.
