for good injectors and turbo its probably gonna cost you a good $3000 at least. Dont just throw stuff on your truck, you need to take a look at upgrading other parts first. If your gonna be flowing more fuel to the injectors then you probably need an upgraded fuel pump. Also, your the same age as me, unless your pretty rich these mods are not gonna help you SAVE money. Go with a coolant filter system before you start looking to impress the ladies. When you start talking injectors and turbo's your usually looking at a fair amount of issues down the road. Honestly i just think its dumb - your young! save your money and when your out of college you can get a kick as ride
