Default What Turbo Should I Get
I was wondering what brand of turbo I should get. I don't want one to big were I have to do a lot of work to my head. But big enough were I can get around 40 pounds of boost.

Phat Shaft 62 will work great with your injectors.

it's not boost your after it's amount of air the turbo can move. I would rather make 20psi and not have to worry about it. But with 110's a 62 would be nice. It will make more than 40psi though.

The Wastegate is set at 45psi. So you will make between 43-47 psi

I've pushed 57 PSI multiple times without a head gasket failure. Stock gasket, stock head bolts, 202,000 miles on the original engine. I'm not saying that it won't, but mine has held in there.
