I have an 05 with tbe and xpt stage 2 tune. A week ago my exhaust started smoking only when idling and only when the exhaust has heated up. From the research I've done I've determined this is a bad seal in the turbo and plan on replacingit soon. My question is should I replace it with a td04 or is there something else that I could replace it with and not have to put new injectors in? I'm not looking to get 300 whp I'm merely looking for a little more power and more reliability out of a turbo. What would you suggest?

no you should not use the stock injectors with that 16g turbo, your duty cycle will exceed the limit of those injectors. I see you have a XPT tune, is that a tune that you paid for and got the map in a E-Mail or did you go there have have your car protuned?
