38R and stock injectors is a great set up. I ran that for about 50k, then stage 1's then stage 2's then Hybrids...
Stock turbo will be fine if your just going to throw a tuner/intake and exhaust on it.

Or to make it more confusing, a van turbo is a nice option. Can easily be had for a lot less than a 38R and pulls a lot harder up top. Mine was great with my stock injectors. Its even better with the Stage Is. I would not run one on stock injectors without tunes but with a chip its great.
i already have boost, tranny, egt, and hpop gauges. and yeah ive heard about van turbos. i dont really know where to look for one tho. how much of a power difference does the 38r make?

Larger exhaust housing and exhaust wheel...
Lower drive pressures, lower EGT's and lower boost levels...
Meaning less stress on the turbo, and more HP
