I can't believe that there is a discussion here debating the "proper" way to inject oil into an exhaust.

To each his own, but don't ever go near my truck with any of this stuff.

Well now we know the proper way to inject oil in the exhaust and the proper way to inject sand into the motor. What is next?

yup if you want stage IIIs you're gonna need.... rods, head studs, turbo, intercooler, fuel system, SD HPOP at the least, chip, TRANSMISSION, humm what else am i forgetting??? you might just wanna stick with 1s or 2s.... with 1s all you need is... a good HPOP, good fuel pump, tranny valve body, chip, and the turbo will survive but barely... with 2s you need... a good HPOP at the least (recommend a SD HPOP), good fuel pump, tranny valve body (help your tranny live a little longer, need a full tranny eventually), chip, turbo and intercooler...

if you don't wanna dump a whole lot of money into your truck right now get the 1s, if you have like 3k to spend get the 2s, if your fine spending like 7500 get the IIIs... just my 2 cents

you don't NEED a SD HPOP for 2's... i'm running the stock HPOP (and by stock i mean with 220k miles on it) and i haven't had one CEL or any roughness with it... for the turbo either go with a D66 from beans on an H2E.. i'm goin with the H2E so that when i upgrade to 3s or larger eventually i won't need to upgrade my turbo too... the D66 is pretty much maxed with stage 2s

i don't want to get into head studs or anything like that if i can unbolt the valve covers and drop in new injectors i'll do it mine probably need it anyway or if i can but a better turbo on it ill do it mines got a chip in one of the compressor wheels but as far as taking off the heads or getting into the block don't want to until it blows up but i still can't deciede between wildman or a dp tuner chip
