38r or h2e on stock sticks?

would their be any benefit to running a 38r or even going as extreme as an h2e turbo with stock injectors? im planning on upgrading my sticks in the future to some stage 2's, but would i get any gain from a free'er flowing turbo? im sure they have a lower drive pressure than my stocker right? thanks for the help!

You would get lower drive pressure, more boost, better spool, and you can grow into it. On the other hand you could put a 1.0 A/R housing on and save some money. Just depends on what you want to do.

What are you specifically looking for? Towing performance, horsepower, economy?

well for right now more horsepower AND economy would be nice.. but those two things usually dont go hand in hand.. i dont tow much.. maybe 3 times a year. but i dont want a huge slow spooling turbo either.

Stage 2's, a 38r with a 1.15 housing is a match made in heaven...

The H2e is a great turbo as well, and gives you tons of options to grow with!
