Default What Turbo and Injectors

I am looking at upgrading my injectors and turbo. I have an 02 sbqc 2wd 6 spd with edge comp box, bhaf, isspro pyro boost and fuel guages. Air dog lift pump, 4 inch straight pipe. BD intake. I do quite abit of towing during the summer so egts must not climb to much. With the setup I got now I have never seen it hit but about 950 pulling my 20 ft enclosed trailer up a steep hill with the a/c on. I am looking for a good combination of a good streetable turbo that will not spike my egts with the trailer on. And what would be a good choice for injectors. I was looking at not exceedin 100 hp to help keep the heat down. Any suggestions on what others are running and how the egts are

I would think a nice upgrade would be a super b turbo and a set of 75hp injectors

Default which to do first

which upgrade would be most beneficial to do first? would the turbo be best to go with first so I don't overheat the stock turbo a set of sticks??? Not wanting to smoke a whole lot just wanting some extra get up and go. would i be seeing better fuel mileage with either set-up

You can do either one first. If you do the injectors first you will need to turn the comp done.

Yeah a set of nice 75-85 and a super b from bd would run great! Or a set of 100-125 and a phatshaft 62 would do a great job as well

what would a 3 peice intake do for me? Whats the pros and cons? And with the super B or phat shaft would I need to install head studs. As it sets now once my boost guage hits 35 lbs I am backing off the throttle to save the head gasket

I would definetely do a 3 piece exhaust manifold! it will help lower egts and free up the exhaust flow as well. With those turbos they come set at around 38-40 psi so you dont need studs but I would recommend doing then at some point

As far as exhaust manifolds or Stage 2 air intakes? For Intakes any AFE or I lik the S&B's on those trucks. And as far as exhaust manifolds go BD, ATS, PDI are my top choices
