Turbo Suggestions

Hey every one

I'm a newbie to DTR and could use some advice on a good turbo setup. As you can see in my signature my truck is still mostly stock. I've owned it for about 4 and a half years now and have been really pleased with it. I have wanted to start bombing it for a long time now, but have held back because I still have the stock clutch and no gauges yet. Also I have 4.10 gears so it pulls my loads pretty well.

However next month I am swapping out to 3.54 gears for fuel milage, and installing a new clutch soon because mine is getting worn, then installing some gauges so I can see what's going on.

My question is this. I plan to put in a #10 fuel plate and a 3000gsk to help with the pulling power loss of the gears, and just for more fun I live at 6000ft elevation so air is rather thin up here. I am looking for a turbo upgrade that will spool up as fast of preferably faster than stock and move enough air to keep egt's in check with the #10 plate. Some day I might put a little bigger injector in also, but that will be a long time off, so not a major concern just something to think about.

Thanks for your help
Josh

Thanks for the suggestions, that is one of the ones I was thinking about. but I didn't know if I would wind up with a bunch of turbo lag. Can anyone elaborate on the performace caracteristics of the HTB2, or any other turbo's they think will work good for me

thanks...josh
