ha yeah, with just stock injectors you wont see too much more power, a little but not anything like you will when you match a set of sticks to it, but maybe 1-2 mpg and a lot quicker spool up, just post up in the vendor section for a garrett 38r ball bearing turbo, they'll all know what ya want

thats not too bad, i think a garret ball bearing is only about 1400 though i'd just go with it if it were me, you can run it with stock sticks all the way up to 238cc hybrids

you'll be fine without studs, no worrys, if you throw in over a 160/100 then i'd start to worry but with stock sticks you'll be fine

Default HA,HA, (kids)

the front of my turbo is leaking oil so now that im starting my new job im going to save up for a new turbo, which would be thee best turbo for the money? this is a dd and i do tow with it, im not looking to spend an arm and a left n*t and i figured while i have it apart i might as well change the stuff for the EBPV and also put a 4in down pipe on it,

But once you have lifted your head and put a leak in your head gasket it won't be so funny HA,HA, I guess that's why they make the new head studs you figure? HA,HA
