Should I do this?

[PreciousMetals]

Looking to do some upgrades to my truck. Plan to start with the bellowed up-pipes, new waste-gate, and FRx. While I have the turbo off to replace the up-pipes and waste-gate, I am most likely going to change the pedestal to a non-EBPV. I don't have designs on putting bigger injectors in the truck, so should I just stick with the stock turbo? Will an upgraded turbo really get me anything if I don't upgrade the injectors and get tunes? If I upgrade, I want to do all this at one time while I have the truck apart. I usually never pull more than 6,000 pounds. Just wondering if I should just put the 38R on while it is apart. Of course that drives the price up.

Thanks in advance...

Performance wise the bottleneck will still be fuel. The 38R spools a little better and helps with EGTs. Other than that you won't see much gain. Is there some reason you are replacing the waste-gate? The best bang for the buck would be some good tunes. If you really don't want to do injectors I personally don't think upgrading the turbo is going to net you ~$1400 worth of gain.

The stock turbo is fine for stock injectors. If your not putting in the supporting mods, don't waste the money on a turbo.

Thanks for that. I appreciate the responses.
