Can anyone recommend good performance chips for the Silverado? I want one that maximizes the turbo capabilities!
I’m a fan of the Edge Evolution. It offers great tuning options for the 2.7 Turbo and is super easy to install—just follow the instructions!
Safety first! Don’t forget to wear gloves, especially when working with cold air intakes and chips. You don’t want sharp edges or electrical components causing issues.
That sounds promising! Does it help with fuel efficiency or just performance?
It definitely improves fuel efficiency along with performance—definitely worth the investment! Just remember to reset the ECU afterwards.

I’ve watched several tutorials on YouTube. Some show mistakes too, which is great for learning what not to do! Just be careful with those DIY upgrades.
Good point! Also, don’t rush through the installation, as it’s easy to miss a step and mess things up. Patience pays off!
Has anyone tried upgrading the exhaust? I’ve heard it can really enhance the turbo’s sound and performance, but I’m curious about the install process.

Yes! The install can be tricky though—really helps to have a second set of hands. And don’t forget the exhaust wrap!

I love the idea of enhancing the sound! Just make sure you follow the torque specs. I learned that the hard way with my last install.
Torque specs are key! It makes a massive difference in the longevity of your installation.

I’ve been upgrading my 2022 Silverado 2.7 Turbo with aftermarket intakes. The difference in throttle response is noticeable. Brands like K&N and Airaid have good reps. Anyone else tried them?
I’ve gone with the K&N intake as well! The installation was straightforward, and I’ve noticed a slight increase in horsepower - very happy with it overall.

Another great upgrade is the ECU tuning. Companies like Bully Dog and HP Tuners have great reviews. It’s worth the investment for improved performance and fuel efficiency!
Absolutely, I got the Bully Dog tuner for mine. It was a game changer! Fun fact, it even gave me better MPG on the highway!

I’ve been looking into exhaust upgrades, too. Anyone have experience with Borla or Magnaflow? Just curious if the sound is worth it!
I went with the Borla. The deep rumble is fantastic and it didn’t hurt my fuel economy, so I highly recommend it!
Don’t forget about the suspension! A good lift or leveling kit can improve handling and make way for bigger tires. Brands like Rough Country have some solid options.
