I would never be able to tow with the SP66 I have now (for sale in the classifieds)

Unfortunately your problem is very common at Utah's altitudes and pretty much unreported. Everyone usually thinks bigger is better. Several owners I know have gone to High Tech's original HTB2 for towing. At this altitude the HTB2, or simular, is the best alround high performance turbo you will find. It will handle up to 550hp and starts building boost at around 12 to 1300 rpm.

I spaek from experience.
