Turbo or injectors first?

in what order would one install, turbo first or stage ones? Turbo would be a d66 and injectors would be rosewood diesel stage ones. Can i run a bigger turbo with factory injectors for a long while without problems? Already got the intake and exhaust done. Next will be a dp-tuner chip. But if i suddenly run into a few grand i would love to do injectors and a turbo. D66 producers claim 350hp paired with stage ones and proper tuning, is that a good estimate?

Id get the tuner first then the injectors so you can tune them back till you can afford the turbo

There is no need to "tune back" stage 1s with a stock turbo. A D66 will be a good match with ones but a stock turbo will work just fine in the interim.

Do the gauges, then the chip and have it burned for Stage 1's, then the injectors (or save the money up and get them both at the same time from Rosewood), then worry about the turbo after that. There are plenty of guys running around here with 1's and a stock turbo. Now if you were talking 2s that would be a different story....

You can run a D66 with stock tunes, injectors and it will spool the same as the stock charger. The d66 is a stock turbo with a 66mm compressor wheel. It will spool the same cause it still has the stock turbin housing.

In all honesty, i built my truck up for the power them added the fuel. Add the turbo or even a better turbo than a d66. An s366 isnt too far off from the $$$$ of a D66. You could even do the intercooler at the same time to keep them injectors from heatimg up your powerplant. Ive heard of more happy customers with a s366 than a d66.
