What to do next....

I have some extra money coming in this month and i want to put it into my truck, I'm torn between what to do to my truck, as is my truck mods currently are..

1999 Dodge QC 4X4 TD Auto 126k Miles
Edge Comp Box (MAP Sensor Unplugged)
DDIII Injectors
5" Exhaust
S&B Intake
Necessary Gauges
ATS Transmission & TC

Obviously like most 24v's the truck doesn't smoke that much unless under heavy throttle at no boost, Transmission is great, couldn't be happier with the ATS

I'm thinking about putting a turbo on it, I'm kinda confused as to which to go as there are so many options, I'm looking for most likely a single turbo but lots of hp, Not looking to doing excessive engine mods, but i was also thinking of putting a Smarty on, which way should i go? or another option out there? Any advice welcome. Thanks ahead of time.

Edit: i should add not looking in spending much more than $2000 preferrably less.

If you sell the Comp you could get a TST and a Smarty (or run the Smarty on even settings with the Comp) and get a turbo. A 62 class turbo would be a nice upgrade and cool the extra fuel quite well.

ON EDIT: Keep the COMP, and upgrade the fuel system, Smarty and turbo

I say you should throw some more air at it befor more fuel. Slap on a SPS or HTT 62 14 or 64 14 and you will like it alot.

Where can i find these turbo's? just searched for them and came up with nothing other than ones on vehicles from this site, also what fuel should i do? if any, in reply to the above poster.

Nevermind I found HTT's site, looking now and i like what i see only problem is not sure if the downpipe they provide would hook up to my 5" exhaust, my system is 4" dp and after the bend its 5" all the way out.

If your talking about the intank pump. I would spend my money by getting that thing out of there and putting in a FASS or Walbro pump.

The down pipe from htt will hook up to it just like the one you have now. The end of the pipe is expanded so regular 4 inch will go into it and they give you a band clamp to secure and seal it. You will be fine to make a connection with your previous stuff.
