Default What size injectors?

Hey according to my sig would sdx 125 injectors be ok? I want faster spool up and manageable egts. my problem right now is it lags quite a bit and I'm having trouble making 30 psi even with the waste gate blocked off. Thanks

Ya those would be a good set even 150s would work good but I would look into getting headstuds before doing the injectors anything over 45 psi is not good without studs

Anderson,

I think even if you went with 125 or 150, you will still see lag with that turbo. I just saw another thread and may have been on different forum, but the individual had a HX40 and 125 already and was wanting to get another turbo because of the lag. Something to think about, maybe do a search through google on HX40 lag......just throwing an idea out there.

But really all i'm looking for it to spool up like it did stock, it's not terrible now so I'm hoping 150's will do the trick. I do still have the 35 what about building a 35/40 hybrid?
