Need help on turbo option!

Ive been doing some research and can't quite find what im looking for. Im debating between getting an fp green turbo. Or starting off with an ix turbo and running alky. I currently have the 03 VIII turbo. I'm kind of on a budget so i can only do either or. I have a vishnu stage 1+(fuel pump, cams,dp,exhaust, cam gears.) APS blow off, and injen intake/pipe kit. Just wanted to get some input on which option to go with? Thanks for any input,
Kyle

Get the 20G-LT "Green Turbo"...........But you should know that there's a little wait for these little monsters.

One more question on top of that. Will I need to upgrade my injectors right away?

I'm pretty sure he said he could only do one or the other...

If you're prepared to run meth/alky injection, then buy a used IX turbo and a meth kit w/ failsafes. This will make more power for the $$$ over a Green turbo on pump gas. Obviously, either way you'll need a tune. Most people recommend upgrading to about 680 - 750cc injectors with a Green on pump gas...

I'd just do an IX turbo and alky, great bang for your buck!
