What order

In what order would you do these mods. Do you have to upgrade your fuel system to a higher psi if so is there a kit?


Turbo
Injectors
HPOP

It all really depends on what injectors you are putting on. The reason is you have to match the turbo with the injectors. If you're going really big, you're gonna need a turbo that can handle it. Problem is, that if you just upgrade one or the other and not both at the same time, the driveability of your truck will suffer quite a bit until you catch up with the other modifications.

If you're going mild on the injectors, I would say: Turbo, HPOP, Injectors

If you're going big on the injectors, then save your money and do injectors and turbo at the same time, then go with the HPOP later.

With any of these mods, you're going to need trans work if you haven't already done that. Also with big injectors, you're going to need some engine work to keep it together.

Again, it all depends on what size injectors you plan to get. Tell us what injectors you want, and we can recommend a turbo (or several) that will work best.

Hell that's another question. I really don't want crazy extreme but something in the middle.

In all honesty I would say do the tranny first. It's a given that it will need to be replaced so might as well start there and have a reliable platform to build upon...thats what I have done. $4-5K for a tranny isn't something you just sneak in between purchases...

I really don't drive crazy or think the trans can wait. I was thinking about the H2E Turbo. Thinking down the road if I want to go aggressive on the injectors the turbo would compliment it.

Well from what I understand, you will have significant lag w/ an H2E and stock sticks. Doesn't take much for these trans to puke...

The H2E spools very slow. For a set of stage one 160cc injectors and a BB turbo like the Garrett or TN, youll have about 400hp, stage two injectors a little more, Hybrids about 450-500 and that's all you can go on stock internals without doing anything more than that list. Id recommend 160cc singles.

Well, my opinion, the Turbonetics. Probably because i use one. Well i had the choice of getting either one but the loud *** whistle from the Garrett turned me off. It was like the ATS housing and WW combined.
