spooling HX40 with stock injectors?

i know this is a NOOB question but i need to know stat. cause i need finish my truck and get down to nc stat
hey guys, im in abit of a pickle. im building an exhaust for my cummins swapped k30 chevy, and i dont want to have to do it again when i upgrade to the WH1E i have. and i dont have the money rite now for injectors. so i was thinkin about puttin the WH1E on now and buildin the 4" down pipe and and exhaust. i will have a fuel pin, 3200gsk, and intercooled. so my big question is will i be able to spool this thing, dont care about performance rite now, ( will it be driveable), or am i just opening a can of worms? i plan on driveing this from NJ to NC quite often and probley b4 i can get injectors. All the info you can give me i would aprechiate. and what injectors would u recommend? this truck is goin to be mostly for towin another truck around and DD.

thanks alot- karl

Yes, we need to know the housing size. It's stamped on the inside of the exhaust inlet. I would only recommend some 330's or equivilent. Anything bigger and you'll have to watch your guages pretty hard.

the 5.9 ehxaust flange is a T3, that bigger turbo is a T4 flange. They sell an adapter for it or you could spend $50 order the flanges yourself and make your own adapter.
