The heavier the load the more air you want to cram down its throat to keep EGTs in check. Go at least 60mm+ on the compressor wheel and don't choke out your exhaust with a tiny housing.

The best exhaust housing for you will depend on if the truck is a 5speed or automatic. The auto trucks its allot easier to keep spooled. If you have a 5 speed I say find a used HX35 for cheap and put the 60mm compressor side drill out the divider in the 12cm exhaust housing and put it on. If you have a auto truck put the 60mm housing on the H1C and leave the 18cm exhaust housing on. That will be your cheapest route unless you can find a used 12cm (for your 5 speed if that's what you have) put that on your H1C along with the 60mm intake and you should be good. You could probably get away under $500 if you shop around but the cheapest 60mm will be from GDS.

High- s300 variant, 62/71/14 ~$1500-$2000 (or possibly an E.D. s300 62/68/14)
