Hey guys im wondering which route to go....i would like to see some good bang for my buck and have my truck set up to where it is capable enough that im not replacing parts to upgrade them. should i purchase a 14cm non gated housing and got with a stage 4 compressor wheel upgrade first or should i just wait until i get some injectors in that will make some power. im thinking PODs but i also like the 190s. what difference in power will i see between the 190s and the PODs? also is it better to add air now as i can already make the thing blow some smoke or should i do the injectors first. also should i upgrade the compressor wheel first or the turbine housing? as of i now ive got enough for one of the three parts.....

Don't get a 14 cm housing. The wastegated ones are too expensive, and the non-gated ones are too restricted. If you want quick spool, get a used 12 cm wastegated housing. When you outgrow that, you need a bigger turbo anyhow.

You can do the turbo upgrade first if you want. What you're considering will run fine with stock injectors.

POD's are worth about 30 hp over 190's.

If the truck is a 5 speed, do the exhaust housing first. If it's an auto, your choice.

just look for a 12cm non wastegated housing online or take a wastegated 12 out of a second gen? with the amount of fuel that im running will that give me back some good results? i really dont want to be running at 15 psi of boost at 65mph cruising you know?

A used one is the cheapest way to go. They pop up in the classifieds here and on TDR, and also on Ebay. You will love the way the truck drives, especially if it's a stick. Boost @ 65 will be 5-7 psi on flat ground.

a wastegated one or a non wastegated one?

Wastegated. Non wastegated is way too restrictive.
