Chip tuning helps for sure to the turbo lag.

- What gear did you use? You should use the smallest gear which starts from 2000 rpm.
- What speed did you use the P&G

If the push and glide times are the same push 7 seconds and glide 7 seconds I dont bother to do P&G:ing. IMO there is no gains to be made in those circumstaces. That speed when this happens depends on your Cd and trucks weight and power(torgue) to ratio and few other factors.

For turbo lag you can also remove the intercooler. Specially in the nordic winter unless you dont tow something very heavy with your truck often.
