Some gauges are important as well so you can keep an eye on temps. At the very least, an EGT gauge.

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.

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

I just replaced my Turbo with a 38R, my stocker has only 127,000 miles on it...

Just a suggestion, I'll make you a good deal on my stock turbo and you pay shipping.
