For what is done now and maybe adding a mild set of injectors in the future (im guessing as a lot of people do). I would go to a 38r as it is a mild upgrade to keep EGT's in the safe zone.

Lets determine a power goal and a budget before we go assuming we need a turbo and injectors...

I only recommend a turbo to help keep EGT's in a safe zone. Because with any hot tune you can have excessive exhaust temps and even compressor surge at times. Depending on driving style.

Recommend what you want but the stock turbo can handle everything he has at this point and there is no point in buying a mild turbo for stock injectors and tunes and buying another turbo later for bigger injectors...

Again, need to determine a REALISTIC hp goal and budget... If you want 500hp like everybody else better have a thick wallet...
