Injectors will definitely help provided you are not already running too hot...

Just gotta watch the head at boost psi over 40-45 pounds unless you have studs but you could run good with a decent set of 150s you have anything done to tranny auto or manual?

stay under 1300* if possible. Some 100HP injectors would be a nice upgrade and MPG should not suffer.

Provided you are getting your temps pre turbo, under 1300 is safe. There are different ratings for different brands of aftermarket injectors, but the rule is: more HP=more fuel (some are rated for total hp, some tell you how many hp you will gain, and some just go by hole size on the nozzles. Your temps will definitely go up with bigger injectors, as well as boost; and depending on your driving habits, fuel mileage may go down...
It's hard to know what you are after, but the most common injectors are either 100hp or 150 hp.

I just got 100hp nozzles on my truck and watched my in town mpg's got from 13 to 15 and highway 17 to 21. watch out you got that power you need to back it up with a solid transmission. My next investment is a torque converter and shift kit.
