What to stack with TST powermax?

I only have 1000 miles on my 2005 2500 6 speed, but i am already getting the itch to mod it. After i do intake and exhaust I am going to purchase the TST Powermax box. Eventually I will end up doing a turbo and injectors down the road. What pressure box can i get now to help with the power and kep the egt's down. Can i get a little more power, and better mileage running the TST on a very low setting and running a little pressure from a box? I really dont want to run big power now, but want the option of boosting it up later. Thanks for any advice.

P.S. i want a pressure box that i can run at a low pressure bu has the ablilty to be couple wih the TST to make crazy power.

I am in need of the same questions you asked as well. I've had my TST for 2 weeks now and love it. After playing with it I think the only thing I would want for normal driving is some extra bottom end, which is what a pressure box does anyways, right? After the stack does the pressure lower egts at all? After searching before other people have said that it does, how much though? I can run my tst up to 4/4 as hard as I want and barely break 1400, but on 5/5 I can hit my 1500 backdown after a hard accelleration run up to 80mph. I find that 2/2 adds just enough fuel without excessive smoke and is perfect for normal driving. My mileage stayed pretty much the same at 18-19 on the average without towing, but my hotrodding and smoke-outs have gone way up. I just ordered a fuel pressure gauge so I can monitor the 05 lift pump and see how it holds up. The TST is awesome though and is cool because you can still maintain good mileage with mid-levels, because it doesn't add fuel until 12psi of boost and up. And 600 miles and no codes yet.

Sorry for my questions but your post went along with my ?s. To start off, add an intake and either ditch the muffler or add a free-flowing one. Along with the intake ditch the silencer ring and the intake baffles. This should help your bomb-itches for a couple thousand miles and lower your egts when you do bomb. Then add guages or buy the tst with guages. Call tomeygunn for the TST. http://tomeygun.com

I am also on the same destination as you are though. I'll be happy when I hit 550/1100. I need more air first though, then clutch and fuel.

TS Ramifier tuned into about 50% or 50hp is perfect...or their special stack program on max is even better. That...the right turbo, and TST Twins formula will make 550 hp plus.

I hear a lot about the TST and the BDDL? Is it necessary to run a pressure box if you have those 2? Thanks.

No...BDDL does pressure as well. You can have a pressure box too...but just make sure the end result (the BDDL and the pressure box) don't compound to too much pressure.
