Full Injectors are ready to drop into your truck. Nozzles have to be put into your injector bodies and pop tested to spec. If you have a local injector guy that can build and pop test injectors for a fair price you can save some $$$. If not then I would get full injectors.

it depends on what brand your buying. If you go with a bigger name your better with whole injector.

i went with the BD-pulce 150 nozzle's and so far i like them. there a little smokey but not to bad if i keep my edge off. is you dont have a programmer that taps the pump wire they reelie dont feel any differnt then stock in my mind. i had my nozzles put in pop tested etc for 20$ per injector

I am looking a possibly upgrading to some bigger injectors now as well and was wondering the same thing about nozzles vs drop in injectors. Also what would be a good size to upgrade to on the truck in my sig and still be a good dd and be able to ocassionally tow but also most importantly gain me some decent HP?

i ran 100 h.p injectors with a stock turbo,smarty and powerpuck. and my egts were a little hot, only when i towed or ran it reel hard threw all the gears. with the quad like you have i prob would run anything smaller then 100's and you should be fine.
