Default I'd get a GT-30...that turbo is so big, that you really wouldn't have any

powerband to speak of.

Default hmmm...

In time I'm going to go 2.0L but that's like year away. Do you think the GT30-R would still be better choice with a 2.0L.

Default 2.0 would spool it up better, but still, a larger GT-30, say one with a larger A/R turbine..

than the standard .48 would be nice with the 2L. Basically, you could buy the smaller GT-30 w/ the .48 and when you go 2L, just upgrade the exhaut housing, which isn't all that $$, to a oh say, .63 or so. Then you would have a pretty beefy compressor with a great turbine setup. That turbo in that config would definitely support 400 hp and you'd have a pretty fat powerband.

would 440cc injectors do the trick with the GT30?

440's will support just around 400 hp but that is pushing them to their limit.

Default Mine are maxed out now, and it's nowhere near 400hp.

I'm guessing 350hp is their absolute max, 325 hp safely.
