its kindof a catch 22...
id say turbo first. the only down side you'll see is slower spool.. then when you throw injecters on you'll have no worrys.
if you do injectors first, you wont get the full bang for the buck and it'll be hotter..

im assuming since you went dd your looking to make farily big power? 600+?

then grab the turbo, and injectors, turn the boxes down a bit and you'll probably be happy in the mid 5's.

<edit> actualy, sell the ez, that'll hellp ya re coupe some of the expense and run with a better margine of safety prob do a set of flux 1.5's<edit>

Turbo first! Your stock injectors will easily support 500 HP and if this is your goal there is no need for injectors yet, but your stock turbo definiltely needs to go. The SPS 62 is a great place to start.

The SPS 62/14 would be perfect for low to mid 500's. Step up to the Silver 62 for mid to high 500's. The stock injectors will hang in there for quite a while. If you decide you need injectors the Flux 1's or 1.5's would be great, but not necessarily needed just yet.

What do you do with the truck? If you tow and tow heavy that is something to take into consideration when pricing out a turbo. You dont want to go to something that wont tow very nice, if that is what you do with the truck. If it is just a street driven toy that only pulls the boat every once and a while, then you can afford to give up a bit of that bottom end for that top end flow. Even though it sounds kind of funny, you can have 500hp feel completely different from one turbo to the next. Dont just get into something because it is a good deal. It might be a good deal, but if it isnt the right turbo, then the deal really isnt that good.

Try and drive a couple of different brands of turbos. Try our turbos, try the HTT turbos try Industrials then try and form your own opinion.

My vote would be turbo first. No sense having the extra fuel there if you cant use it.
