How about a regulated return, nothing like finnishing off the fuel mods. A bigger turbo like a Garrett 38R like I have will really compliment your mods, good luck.

38R is the way to go. Last I knew Riffraff had one in stock ready to ship.

You are a the crossroads of the performance MODS, as am I , it is time to go big or go home. Turbo, injectors, higher pressure HPOP. I wish those for my future too.

Definitely address the fuel system (both in-tank & after fuel bowl), then look at all the little stuff. I'm also at that point, but I'm finishing off all the other stuff before I go with the sticks. Most likely an Adrenaline HPOP, I have a 6.0L I/C and regulated return about ready to go on. Already did the 6.0L trans cooler. You *can* go van turbo -- with your 2002, you can't use the 38r all the way to its potential. The van turbo will support over 400 RWHP, which is about as far as you want to take your PMR motor anyway. Just another option out there to consider. Might save you a few $$$. Always a good thing these days. I have $900 into mine, but got $250 back out of my semi-rebuilt stocker. You could get more out of yours if it's in better shape.
