Default What to do next with my o1 24v?? For power

So I have a 4" mbrp exaust and a K&N cai. What to do next? Should I go with a Edge juice with attitude cts?
Then A lift pump 100 or 150gph ??? What do you guys suggest. Also it's a standard 6 speed. Should the tranny be fine with these upgrades?

What else do you guys suggest of power gains? Any particular order? For example injectors then turbo or head studs etc or vise versa.

I'm a huge diesel fan and this is my first diesel.

Thanks guys

Lift pump first!! Then a good clutch...
Then get you some gauges...
Now you can think about a chip Like edge juice (comes with gauges) or edge comp box or smarty with the pillar style gauges...

Lift pump first, then Edge Juice w/Att. If you prefer mechanical gauges, smarty/edge comp is a good setup or just Comp alone.

Unless you plan on going crazy with modifications a 100gph pump will do fine, but if you feel better having a 150, thats your preference.

With any programmer turned up,once you add anything bigger than 50-75hp injectors, you are going to start getting real toasty real quick on exhaust temps. (just one reason gauges are important) and its time for a different turbo setup. I'm sure you will hear 1000 different variations on injector size vs turbo setup but i dont think im too far off on this.

if you drive sensibly, you can make it a little while on the stock clutch. But i would start planning on an aftermarket one. Depending on how much further modifying and what you are doing with your truck there may be a need for a little more beefing up

So definatly a lift pump first? then the edge juice. and i have decided i want the edge juice with attitude with the cts monitor i really ike that setup.
im not shure how far i plan to go as of horse power i mean i would love to just go ***** out. but everything cost money haha. should i just go with the 150gph to be safe for future plans?

what is the best way to tell if my truck has a in tank pump or on the block? i havent tried turning the egnition on and just listening. does that work?

also what kind of clutch should i be looking for?

any info is greatly appreciated

thanks

I would say if you are unsure on future mods you mind as well get the 150 right away just to be safe.

If you have a block mounted lift pump it will be on the drivers side, back of the engine block just a little past the fuel filter. Personally, I feel like the AirDog 100 is more than enough to support anything that a factory VP can handle. I'd recommend the same as everyone else, AirDog FIRST! Then the Juice w/ CTS. Provided that your clutch hasn't been completely abused, it'll hold the extra horsepower from the chip just fine. But this is just my opinion...

Some good replies here Rayrod ...... I think you'll like the Juice / Attitude ....after you get your lift pump. The Juice / Attitude guages are alright, and are fast to read. I live in Ladysmith.

you don't need anything bigger than a 95 I made 603hp on mine. change your k&n filter to a s&b as I had a k&n for a while and noticed a lot of dirt in my intake tube from it when I pulled it off to have compounds done. I ran compounds for 2 years with the s&b and my intake tube is clean I was very surprised of the difference.
