Well im not sure of budget yet, lets say one or two things at a time. Im not lookin for a sled pullin truck lol just want 150-200 more horse if its possible

Anything is possible with time and money lol you could certainly start with egr delete abd arp head studs if you already don't have them then move on to injectors and turbo

Sorry if i sound dumb but i dont know much about diesels, can I do a turbo without doin injectors right away and someone said I do blue spring and banjo bolts to?

 

[Mar00n6liter]

Yeah you could but I probably wouldnt on factory head studs that's just me. And ive heard about doing blue springs never done them and yeah on the banjo bolts you can get a set of 6.4 banjo bolts pretty cheap and easy to put on. I had my brother put those on my 03 6.0

Ok then im gonna do delete and studs first, how much for a turbo and injectors and wat power will that give me and where to get best prices on those

 

[Jeremyleggett07]

Before doing anything for more power I would highly suggestion doin stuff to benefit ur truck. Blue spring upgrade helps out the injectors. Coolant filtration systems are great, but if u can afford it, STUD IT!

Delete and studs won't gain anything really it just fixes the problems with a 6.0. Also when you do head studs make sure you go back with factory head gaskets or I got a set of River city diesel ones. They are just as good. And as for injectors and turbo, it depends on how big u go and how much you wanna spend. I just got my injectors built by Warren diesel ive heard a lot of great things about them and they were great to deal with. I just got 155cc/stock nozzles which is just a bump over stock, and they were 600 plus core charge. And they are about the cheapest ive found you can spends thousands on injectors and just as much or more on a turbo. Like said above it depends on your budget

Also invest in a good set of gauges or a programmer that monitors some of that. Like ECT, EOT, EGT, fuel pressure, All the goodies

If you do that you will end up lifting the cab after the gaskets blow

No joke, just pull the cab and do it right the first time.

Remember when you cut corners now you pay the price later. Save up stud it and delete it then worry about power. If you already have delete you can get studs for $450 and victor rienz gaskets for $150. No oint in doing it backwards and possibly cracking a piston.
