Also, I saw it mentioned the top HP with stock sticks, and I'll agree that it's right around 350 RWHP. With every supporting mod possible (fuel system, intake, exhaust, chip, big oil, turbo, intercooler) and my stock injectors, I was right around 360 HP if you figure it based on my trap speed of 87 MPH and the truck weight of 8000 pounds.

I have the adapter from beans....I went to put the van turbo on, but it was from an early 99 so i wasted my time....I put it on the turbo and tried to install it, but it was never ran or completely installed... Will part with it for $80

Me, I watched eBay for a used turbo ($80, which is cheap), rebuilt it myself with a $100 kit, then add the flange adapter from Beans is all that's 100% necessary for you to buy and I'm in it for less than $300. Of course, you can spend more too, by getting a non-EBPV turbo pedistal instead of blocking yours off and add extras like an ATS compressor housing.
orng1, I see you're a pretty new user so some of this may be a little confusing right now, but hang in there and it will make sense. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

I should think that until I do the AC Single shots that make about 70HP, I should be fine without a reprogram on the F5. Those were the injectors that Jody recommended.
