aftermarket mods are only going to get you at most a 1 mile to maybe 3 mile at most.

bmos.... not sure where you are getting your information but like BRC said, deleting your DPF filter will get you a mileage increase. Usually 1-2. The addition of a tuner though takes you up to 3-5mpg increase. And since you will be running a turboback system to delete your DPF, you get the added benefit of lower EGT temps. Just a reminder to anyone considering a DPF delete, GET GAUGES! You can mount them on the steering column, a-pillar, or overhead above the rearview mirror. Just make sure you get them!

oh! I thought you were saying you DID know and wanted him to search for proof.

Hard to tell on the internet what a person means sometimes.
