Need more towing power

I'm a drag racer that pulls a 44' gooseneck and gross around 25k when loaded.

If I run 70 mph with my truck loaded the turbo shoots up to 38 psi on every small overpass or hill,EGT's stay at 1050 or less.I know this isn't good for the stock turbo.I have Edge with attitude and the truck is stock otherwise.

Is there another turbo I can bolt up that will work with none or minimal supporting mods.I don't want to spend thousands on twins.

I don't plan on hot rodding or racing the truck,just want to be able to maintain decent road speed loaded without the Attitude chirping at me....
