Default Seaching for cheap Hp

Hey guy looking for soom quick help taking the truck in for some tuning witch includes advancing the timing to 15.5 and doing some pump fine tuning, but my problem is thy say 275hp is as far as thy say is safe for stock turbo. I would like a little more power and dont have money for a new turbo so im wondering what can add some safe hp with not hurting mpgs. I was kind of thinking 3k-4k gov kit that includes both not sure witch to run was told 3k if I dont have 60lb valve spring but not sure if thats more cost effective than something else. I will be glad to get some input on what you guys think

What does "Went Through" mean? Do you have a stock converter? billet input shaft or other shafts? Increased clutch counts? Stock or aftermarket clutches?
