Those injectors are RV275's......the same injector is used on the 275 hp and 300 hp version of the 5.9 ISB....if the sticks are new, that is a good price.
I would take a Comp over the TST Powermax any day.....the Comp has much more control over fueling and in addition, also controls timing. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you also need the TST remote to control Powermax fueling levels on the fly, no? You should be able to find a Comp for a similar price.
FWIW, with the Comp or the TST coupled with the 275's, it will work great with the HX35 - I run the Comp/275 combo and I am very pleased with the performance.....you may have to turn the Comp down a few levels when towing heavy to keep egt's in check. While it does work great, the Comp/275 combo is approaching the limit of fueling the stock turbo can safely handle. More fuel than this would benefit from a larger turbo

I would not waste my time on the Power Max 2....no adjustments. For $100 more you can get the PM3...with 9 hp adjustable levels...to match your set up as you grow. The PM3 will work very well with the 275's.
You will be happier with the adjustability because without it, you will probably be over reving your HX-35 turbo. Adjusting the fueling will allow you to keep boost at or below 35 psi. (max usable for the HX-35). Also to control EGT's.
Also, That price is full...not what I consider an E-Bay pricing. Why not buy from the MFG for the same price and have good contact for any future customer service...if needed? Just a suggestion.

They say PowerMax 3 you need upgraded clutch...
As for the turbo I don't know if thats the stock turbo, since I got a new block, only reason I said it was a HY35 is because of these pictures...

The Comp puts out a bit more power than the Powermax and I have had no trouble with the stock clutch so far. As for telling the difference between the HY and the HX without ID tags, the pics you have illustrate the difference between the 2 turbos well. Notice the difference in size between the exhaust turbine housings between the HX and HY....it is readily apparent that the HX35 has the larger 12cm housing as compared the small 9cm HY35 housing. I hope for your sake that when the engine was swapped that the HX35 remained - can't imagine what the turbo would have to do with just swapping out the block.....was it just the short block that was changed or the whole engine? If you study the pictures you will be able to decide which turbo is in your truck.

Many of us have spent money unnecessarily, on small boxes in the beginning...only to upgrade them later. Unless you are SURE you won't be bit by the HP bug....buy a box that will take you up to 500+ hp...in case you want to go there...someday.
In the meantime...you have 9 different power settings.
Note: the PM2 is just a PM3 box...locked on about #5 setting...with no way to adjust it.
