Nah, not enough fuel yet for a bigger turbo. Injectors if you can find them cheap enough.I've heard the mini me's are pretty cheap, not sure tho. But I don't think a turbo will help you yet. My buddy has a DP tuner on his and he put on a bigger BB turbo. Without more fuel it makes no more boost than stock, and takes longer to spool somehow. On my old 2000 7.3L I had an ATS turbo and it really didn't add any power without injectors. I'm sure most of these guys know more about em than me tho.

First decide how far you want to go with your truck. Then make a plan. I mean like a set of 80hp injectors will run fine with a modded stock turbo. The key is a good chip. I hope this helps here are some Ideas....These are just suggestions of what I would do, and have done on other trucks.

Gauges (If you don't already have them)
Full Exhaust.....4" Turbo Back
Intake & CCV Mod & Cut out Rad. Support for Fresh Air
Wicked Wheel & Heater Plug
High Press. Cross over line
Good Chip TS, DP Tuner etc.
IDM Mod
Fass System or Air Dog
Pre Pump Mod
Reg Return System
Valve Body Work in Trans.
80hp Injectors

Now you also can do the other mods to the stock turbo(exh housing, BPV Delete) along with the WW and Comp housing if your not going to upgrade your turbo soon. If you plan on upgading it to a BB or something soon then just do the Wheel. Good Luck and have fun.

DP tuner will make more power than your edge, might be worth lookin into.
