Default Need Some Advice

I havent been in the diesel game very long but I am learning quickly. I have a 96 Chevy with a 1rst gen. Cummins. I was wondering wear to start when it came to a new turbo and injectors. I have already turned up the pump and filed down the fuel pin along with setting it up with propane injection. I just need the advice about a good stout turbo and injectors. Any advice would be much appreciated.

well it depends on where you want to go with it. What's your truck's purpose?

you got a 3200 governor spring yet??? the Piers Diesel Research HX35 is a great turbo for the truck, is your truck a intercooled or non-intercooled motor, what year of truck did it come from?? cause if its a 89-91.5 you got the "good" injectors, if its newer you can get better injectors, i know Dynomite has 40 and 80 horsepower over stock injectors, neither are cheap but they are good.....you can also go Lucas P.O.D. injectors......you do need a boost and pyrometer gauge and a tranny gauge is you have an automatic.....

If you've already done some pump work, then I hope you have some guages already. The 366 spring should be done. I'd go to New Era for some injectors. Whatever level you want to be at they should be able to get you straight. Their 370s and an hx40 turbo would be a good combo.
