Got the truck done and drove it home almost a month ago, ran into a bunch of hurdles with this build but it was all worth it. I'm very happy with the way it runs and I find the fuel mileage is great for a 9400lb truck with 4.88s. I've been averaging 13.4-14.4mpg depending on how I'm driving it and how much it idles. I put the 03 turbo i had on it to start with, I feel it's not the best for this application. I'm still waiting for KC to release their 11 blade turbine wheels. I think an 05.5-07 turbo with an 11 blade turbine and billet compressor wheel will be the hot ticket, but we'll see.

Here's a couple acceleration videos. This is with a stock ECM and PHP 40hp FICM tune. I feel custom tuning will do wonders for it.
