Based on what i just read. I wouldnt put the charger on till i got the sticks. Its 72 mm turbo from what i saw. That alot of turbo for a little fuel. If it was me i would just wait to do it all at once. Much more room with the HPOP charger and stock fuel out to work.
What tranny are you running as well?

Then go for it while you got it out put it on. I would get a valve body for the tranny or it wont last long. When all the parts are there it wont hold long with just the torque convertor. I cooked 1st and 3rd in my IDI with 20000 on a rebuild with probaly not even 300 at the crank. A valve body woulda been great. Gotta get that power to the ground

I'm not real smart on turbos, but the rest of your mods look good. IMO you need a BUILT tranny to hold the power you are going for.

What size exhaust housing is on the K31. Even if it has a pretty small housing i don't think you will spool it at all. What about the turbine wheel size??? 72mm is quite a bit of turbo buddy, but most of the K31's have little turbine housings on them and can be spooled IF you have some fuel to go with it. Probably need hybrids to make any sort of use of a K31.. Heck I really doubt that i could even think about spooling a K31 with my truck
