Default New injector advise please.

Well, it appears that my injectors are starting to go after 149K. constant black smokestream while driving , even set back to stock with the programmer and got rid of the boost fooler just to make sure it wasnt a component problem.
Here is my question. What size injectors should i consider? I have a mildly upgraded turbo (HX-35/40 hybrid) GDP hi-flo fuel pump, stock tranny and converter. I have no desire to make any crazy power with this truck, but would like to make driveability, snow pushing and towing the camper easier. I look at the injectors that are available and just get confused. i have no idea what size stock injectors are and no way to gauge what flow would best suit my needs.

I would go for a 65-100 hp injector. I notice a nice difference in with my 65's, but am going larger now with the compounds. Upping it to 150's.

275's are 40hp's. I'd go a little more then that. Use the tuner less, and use the mechanical part more.

Ok, some reason I thought they were 60's. I'd say find a good set of 90's/100's and be done with it.

100's work very well on a stock turbo.

I am ordering a set of 150's from JL machine next week... from what I've seen and heard, they make the injectors for some big name companies that do nothing more than slap their name on em and triple the price. Do some research, but they make 75's that would suit you.

Id go with 50hp DDPs. Barely smoke and made a big difference in MPGs.
