No, While the 40 was a good charger in it's day. It's not enough for a 200+ injector in a 24v. Also , Shaft damage would be a major concern. You would be spooling the charger hard in the first place, and it's not easy to prevent turbo surge on a VP truck. There are items available to help with surge but you could get you a good charger with the amount you would give for a 40 and blow off valve setup!

I'd say you need at least a 62mm with that big of injectors.

Your going to need more than a HX40 or a 62 to work with 200-250hp injectors. Maybe a Silver 62. Do you tow any with your truck?

I would be knocking on somthing besides wood. No stock charger will hold 52lbs but a few times. If your seeing 52lbs, you need to check some things out. A factory HX series charger will implode very quickly that high. Also, It's actully loosing alot of power there, Your well out of the efficency of the charger!
