Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Here was my frustration. I have an '06, I wanted more power, so everyone said start out with a chip. I opted for the Edge, because it had the gauges and I didn't want to fry the new truck. It had more power, but then I put my toyhauler on the back. The truck got so hot so quick, it hit the 1500 mark on just small hills, and I found that on the big hills I could pull faster if I shut the chip off. Because it was backing down my fuel. So I bumped the temps on the Edge up to 1600, but then I thought this was rediculous, this thing was running so freikin hot.
After reading about them, I finally ordered a HT stainless turbo. I noticed a power difference, but nothing really in EGT's. It gained me a few miles/hour over the hills when towing but I still could hit the 1600 mark even with the box off. By this time I was really thinking about getting a Duramax, I couldn't believe how hot this truck was running.
Then I was at the Sand sport show in Calif. There was a booth with sign that said something about your truck running so hot you can't use it. Immediately I was intriged. They had a very cool looking set of compound turbos on a newer Dodge. I got their brochure, and spent several weeks on the phone with them, they finally let me drive their truck with a trailer on it, and that was enough, I bought one. The company was Diesel Power Source.
Here are the final results. The twins made the truck quieter, a big surprise to me. They definitely made the truck more powerful, and made the turbo lag more like it was with the stock turbo. But the real test was when I went on the deer hunt, towing my trailer again. I hit some big hills, I kept the truck on lvl. 4 the whole time, and held the 70-75 all the time and when I checked the records on my chip later on I never went over 1330 EGT's. However my transmission was showing some slippage on the Edge records. I was so absolutely thilled, I called DPS after the first big hill to tell them about it. They simply asked me to tell everyone I knew, so that's what I'm doing.
Since I did the twins, I have gone nuts, after doing the transmission, I have done injectors, another chip, a Fass, and a dual CP3 pump. The truck still is so driveable, yet fast as crap. Im so glad I didn't get rid of it.
This is a long boring post, but I'm so excited about my find, I had to make a post. I've been reading the TDR for awhile but haven't seen anything about my find. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong places but I now tell everyone, don't sell that Dodge, just do what I did.
