turbo upgrade help
I'm looking to upgrade my turbo. Right now I have the stock turbo with a couple of upgrades done to it, IE... non wastegated 1.15 A/R turbine housing, wicked wheel. I am only pushing 4 lbs of boost at 75 mph, I would like to increase my boost a little bit to help with fuel economy, I know if I reduce my A/R I will be increasing drive pressure, I have looked at ATS, BD, Turbonetics, Garrett GTP38r, so on and so forth. Which turbo is going to allow me to accomplish this? I am also upgrading injectors soon also. Truck is a late model 99

What size injectors are we talking about? Any of the afore mentioned turbos, with a 1.0 A/R turbine housing, will accomplish your goal. What influenced you to go with the 1.15 on your current setup?

I like my 38r. Many use it in combination with Stage 1's, such as those. I am not saying that the other turbos won't cut it. They are comparable in size. Everyone has their favorite.

I have been doing a little research and checking on other forums and there are alot of people running the 38r with a batmo compressor wheel and 1.15 A/R housing, saying they are liking that setup, spools faster maintains a good pull all the way through rpms, egt's are cooler, and getting anywhere from 4-6lbs more boost. maybe I will go this route.
