you could go with a lager housing which would lower the boost some so you could run bigger injectors. but if you want more then about 25 psi you will need to get a diffrent turbo. there are alot of tuners you can go with. i would go with either swamps, beans, PHP, gearhead, wildman.

DUMB....

Why not get a 38r... Its a reliable and good anywhere from stock to 500hp once you add the supporting mods.

You are only going to push so much boost with stock injectors anyway.
