I would say browse the threads by Stinky-D. He is in the same boat as you are.

these are all great choices if it were me I would go with a 62/65/13ss ... or if your on a tight budget an hx 40 is an improvement as long as you don't beat on it to bad

I would say the best upgrade from stock would be a switzer s300 which from a local dealer i can get this charger for around $900. This turbo will give u enuf air flow for around 450hp to the wheels with the proper fueling. U can get this turbo from PDR diesel which u can have it up graded to a 62mm, 64mm, or a 66mm for around $1500. Hope this helps you out!

you will need an hx 40 down pipe and for that turbo you will need a t3/t4 adapter

Thats the small compressor for an hx40, and that is a most likely a chinese knock off at that price. In all honesty I would keep searching, it will take a bit of work to get that hooked up and it is probably not going to be the most reliable turbo out there. Also, it will probably be laggy running that t4 housing, and really not flow that much air with the 56mm comp wheel. The Hx40's most people run have the 60mm comp wheel. If it were an s300, which has a more modern and efficient design, you could get away with the 57mm wheel, but not with that thing. That is just my opinion, but I don't think you will be very happy with that charger.

I will have to agree that its prob a chinese knock off, but the hx40 is still a good upgrade for mildly modded trucks
