I am just starting to think ahead of future upgrades I want to pursue. I have seen a lot of people doing 2nd gen swaps, but I am more leaning to going the compound turbo setup as I really don't want to lose my exhaust brake. Since this is going to be heavy on the wallet I wanted to start small and piece by piece what I can. I have only seen two kits on the market so far (Hardway Performance and one from Pusher), but suggestions/recommendations are welcomed!
For starters I was looking at exhaust manifolds. Both these kits are designed to work with the stock manifold, but I would like something that flows a bit better. The only aftermarket manifold I've seen that retains the factory location for the turbo flange is the AFE BladeRunner. It's only ~$500 so I was thinking I could do this right off the bat. From here I could go up to the basic compound kit or swap out my factory VGT for a Fleece Cheetah. Either way I want to eventually upgrade my VGT to the Cheetah.
The biggest questions I have are in regards to fueling. With this setup what injectors would be best? What about the CP3: will a stroker (say a 10mm stroker) be enough or will I need to run a dual CP3 setup?
