Default Injector Upgrade

Hey guys looking for some suggestions/help on my next upgrade. I'm thinking about putting 150hp injectors in my truck but wondering if that would be too much? Would appreciate any feedback since i'm new to this....

EGT's may get high depending on Smarty settings. I assume your still running a stock HX35 turbo? Any wastegate modifications?

i would say stick with 100's u could prob get by with 125's since ur a 6 speed as long as u don't do any heavy towing... if a turbo upgrade is in ur near future go with the 125's.... or 150's if again u don't do any towing..

Ya if you tow much I would stick with some 75 or 100 injectors. If you don't tow you could get by with some 150s but its still going to get hot quick with a stock turbo.

I don't do any towing so no problems there....my biggest concern is I would not want to do any damage because of not having a bigger turbo....do you think i should go with a set of 100's and not 150's? thanks guys

If you might upgrade your turbo in the near future you could do with the 150's. If your not I would stick with the 100's.

I do plan to eventually upgrade the turbo, but it probably won't happen for another 6 months or so.....i'm thinking the stock clutch won't be able to handle much more so i'll have to upgrade that after the injectors, then the turbo will follow
