Turbo Size

I need a turbo upgrade. I've got an 04.5 3500 w/NV5600. I currently have a vA C3.2 and EZ with a modded CP3 on the truck. I've got a TST PMCR that I'm waiting on a harness for so that is soon to be going on. I'm planning a set or injectors and ither a smarty or bddl. Something to smooth the edges. I was wondering what size turbo I should get. I do pull about 15000 lbs on occasion. I was something streetable, but still able to pull. The only thing that stays on right now is the EZ on the low setting. When the tst goes on it will also stay off or low (timing). I just want to be able to turn it up without frying everything. The stock charger doesnt cool enough running empty stock, let alone with any upgrades. Again, I'm looking for turbo size. 62/65? 62/71? 64? 66? I'd like to stay with a single charger. Thanks in advance. Jason

I passed a horse and buggy so I'm thinking around 2hp!!
