Looking at you sig, that truck will have no issues doing what you want it to do Just make sure its mechanically solid as in front end and drivetrain and brakes. Might wanna look into a set of airbags?

And I've been thinking of some kind of turbo to replace the 01 turbo like a hx40 or an s300 or something I just don't know Wich would be better

i think the s300 would be better i don't know much about turbos. still trying to learn more. and i think an airbag kit would be about 500 bucks last time i checked they really aren't bad. get a price quote from one of the sponsors they would love to help you.
