Smile turbos?

Any one got suggestions on which turbo i should get for my 02 f250. I have the juice and evo stacked. 4 down and straight pipe. K&N cold air intake. 4inch lift with 35s. I dont pull sleds or im not really hopping it up for any particular reason just want to get more power out of it. Im want to make it faster. Ne ways i was looking at the turbonetics ball buster turbo but Not for sure if thats what I need. I dont have bigger injectors yet and it may be a while before i can get them. So I want a turbo I can run with the stock injectors. But still have plenty of air to play with when i get bigger injectors. Also fuel economy is a factor. Im getting 19 with the juice on mileage and i would like to keep this if all possible. But most turbos i look at say better economy. But im a novice and need some advice? O yeah and thanks for all the info you guys give me. I have learned more here than anywhere.

I have the Turbonetics turbo, and really like it. Supposed to support to 400hp with the larger exhaust housing. I have the smaller one designed for stock injectors and it works great. Don't confuse it with the Ball Buster name, as that is a HTTP (or some similar company) that markets nearly the same turbo under a different name.

do you need a turbo right now??? the TN i have heard is the best bang for the buck..but i think a cheaper way out of it is to get rid of them on the shelf chips you have and get the DP Tuner most every one that run them on the shelf chips have changed to the DP and noticed a bigger gain in power..

I agree with Ron, I ran an off the shelf programer for 4 years thinking that was the best. Once I found FTE I went with the mass and got a DP-TUNER. For me that was the best thing I did to my truck to make power. Your setup might be the right thing for you,

Just me talking here.

I have been planning on getting a dp. But i just got these programmers for a gift and i have to keep them for a little while but while im waiting i wanna get a better turbo. Really what im looking for a think is a turbo that will do fine with my stock injectors, keep my mpg, and if i get bigger injectors will work good with them to. Is there such a turbo?
