PDR HX40 versus Dodgezilla HX40/35 Hybrid

Hey fellas, I don't believe this comparison has been done before so I'm pretty interested in what you have to say. These are the two I that I have narrowed it down to, but both seem to have their good points.

Within a month or two, my complete setup will be Mach 1.6 injectors, Edge EZ, Scotty II, 4" exhuast, and an adjustable TST PowerMax. I only intend to use the TST for play or for when it's needed when I'm towing (which I'm not doing much of right now). I will probably run with it off most of the time or maybe on a very low setting.

Here's a few other considerations. I really like Piers' reputation. Everyone seems to agree that he's one of the best when it comes to turbos and I would like to do business with him. Within a couple of years, I will probably upgrade to a set of twins, which I would like to get from Piers. This makes me think that I should go ahead and get the PDR HX40, so I can use it with that setup when the time comes.

Price - the difference appears to be $10 and from the way Piers' website reads, the price listed on his site includes the downpipe needed for the HX40. I know that the Dodgezilla doesn't need another downpipe.

My first question would be do you think I need an aftermarket turbo with this setup? Most have agreed that I will, so here it goes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each, and which do you ultimately recommend?

Also, what kind of boost does a PDR HX40 generate? I've seen the Dodgezilla do upwards of 45psi.

Sorry so long - just wanted you to be well informed. Thanks for the help once again!
