with 150s and edge you probably need a bigger turbo imo. the hx40 is a decent upgrade over the hx35, but not much. its more for trucks in the 50-100 hp over stock. your around 150 or more over stock. a 64/68 would realy wake the truck up, and help keep egts cool

I would think a 64/68 would be laggy.unless u have man trans. I'd go with a water/meth and 3piece exhaust.

Or a silver bullet due to there bigger exducer wheels

Industrial Injection, BD, ATS are a few brands. Check them out in the vender section, on the home page then put in a quote. As far as the water meth kit. I think anyone would do. I like the snow kits my self
