Default 5x.014 injectors.... Turbo?

Im looking in to getting some 5x.014 injectors and am on a budget so i didnt wanna spend 1500 bucks on a turbo. Are there any upgrades or anything i could get to keep the egts low? I am already getting a 4 inch exhaust system.

You can get a hx 35 turbo off a 2nd gen pretty cheap

I've heard good of DAP and CPP as far as quality and price.

More holes=more fuel. Better atomization.
