You do NOT need a turbo, or turbo system.

However, if you want to upgrade to a better turbo that will work good with your stock injectors then the Garrett 38R is a good choice.
I've got Swamps 175/146 Single Shots and a TS chip. Is the intake or exhaust more of the issue with surge, or do I need to address both ends? Would I be able to run the 1.15 exhaust housing without much turbo lag?
