??'s about a 1.0 housing

Im thinking about trying a 1.0 housing on my truck, and wanted some input before ordering. Right now Im running a set of your 160cc Stg 1s and a TS chip the Cale burnt for me, and together they're awesome. My truck is a DD but during the summer I use it as a tow rig for my sled puller. Im towing roughly 14k,and my only complaint is trying to get the load moving. Ive got 3.55 gears and an early ZF5 so I know Im geared high. Its great for burning up the pavement, it just a B***h to pull any big loads. Long story short thats why Im looking at a smaller housing. Im not trying to make any more boost Im just trying to it sooner. The way Ive got it figured w/ 80 horse tow setting the EGT's should be managable, but I dont know about the increased pressure on the turbo. What do you think? Sorry for being long winded.

BTW, Ive got plans for big oil and E fuel this spring if that helps any.
