Buy the garrett, you won't regret it unless you want the truck quiet....

Some options (if i could do it again, and be in your shoes)- Casserly hybrids, head studs, stealth stage 1 oil system and a 38R turbo. Unless, you can find a good deal on a Modified H2E setup. I have a guy that could sell you a barely used stock H2E...

Ok, then get hybrids, and no pump. the difference between them is night and day.. Don't do the D66.. Im telling you, get the 38R. There are some on PSN for around $1000.

get the 38R, you will not be disappointed, it is a great turbo. Also, if u dont want to run Big oil like others said, go ahead and get hybrid injectors. with hybrids and a 38r, u could get close to 450hp. Casserly makes good injectors, i know wher eu might be ablke to get a good deal on them. There isa 38R on PSN right now for under $1000, that is a steal. There is a reason the 38R is the preferred turbo out there, it has been around a looooong time and is very durable, whatever u heard about them is not always true.

Just watch who tunes it and that shouldn't be a big issue. Best to check to see if you do have PMR's or forged rods before you go and buy anything.
