I have found turning up the pump isn't necessary to get alot of power after the turbo/exhaust upgrade. More O2 in and easier out can maximize the fuel you already feed it. Adding extra fuel is the guestimate factor that may bump up your thermal output too much for the system to dissipate. I vote for a turbo and exhaust system that has been engineered for specifically your motor. The initial cost is higher than a used 6.5 turbo swap but is cheaper (and easier) than replacing smoked a motor. Dewey P 1
