more horse power, what about turbo
i am wanting to do bigger injectors, but will this have any problems with what the turbo can hold up to? or is it better to go to a 16 cm housing? will all the turbo guts from my existing turbo fit into the 16cm housing? or is it even worth doing the turbo? my turbo is fine right now, im going 4" exhaust, timings bumped, pumps tweaked, fuel pin turned 180, full power screw in 2 turns, i am wanting to go to lucas injectors from TST performance, they give you 52 hp and 104 ftlbs tourque, i also have air intake, what do you all think? also what would you estimate my hp to be around?
thanks Gregg

What do you plan to do with the truck?
POD's (probably what you're getting) will run hot, even with an upgraded compressor. It'd be ok for a play truck, but if you tow it isn't recommended.

it will be towing a bit, to the mudbogs and pickin up other trucks, so it probably isent good to upgrade to big injectors yet? and all the compressor will do is speed up acceleation right?

The compressor will cool EGT's, especially at high boost/high RPM. If the truck tows, I wouldn't recommend big injectors until you have more turbo. You could go with a smaller upgrade, like 190's, but they're a pretty mild injector.
