I believe SDX split up and, Chris, the guy that did their injectors started his own company, DFI. I've been running the DFI 5x.012 SAC's for about a month and I'm really happy with them, I picked up quite a bit of power, mpg's, and they run cleaner.

ide run an electric lift pump and put a gov spring on the pump myself. maybe a fuel pin. the truck still needs to rev out to make much of any power. so do a few things that help in that department.

i like this comment other than the turbine portion of it. the smaller housing are for quicker spooling. this dramatically aids in towing and reduces smoke. the addition of a wastegate eliminates the reason to have a massive A/R non gated turbine housing. after the 60mm compressor upgrade you are $300 deep into an inferior charger when compared to a good takeoff hx35 or he351 for the same money. i would definatly discard your current charger for a newer style shock charger or much more desirable frame s362 with a 65mm turbine. i really liked my 62/65/14 for DDing and towing. it was an AWESOME charger for a peppy work truck.

I have the HX35 and 5x.012 injectors. Got it all used with a spare VE pump for $300. 
The 4" DE exhaust kit cost me more. 
Way less smoke, pulls great, spools fast. Love the turbo whistle. Towed a few things and very manageable. Only gets hot when lugging it.
Governor spring is next, and a low pressure piston lift pump.

That's kind of backwards.... Fuel makes the turbo work. 
Stock non-intercooled injectors can supposedly max out an HX35. Your skinny pedal and fuel screw determine the fuel rate through the injector holes. If I was buying new injectors, I would make sure they are at least large enough to run with a 14mm pump head.

I still recommend the Hx35 or HE351cw since they can be had very cheap used and spool very fast (excellent for stick shift). You can also change the exhaust housings affordably if they are too tight/hot for your liking. These two turbos use the same flange as the stock H1c.... Not sure but it might be T3 flange.
