Default Turbocharged 4.0's

so lately ive seen a lot more interest in turbos for the inline 6's. since it seems to clutter up all the forums with discussion, i was thinking people could share there ideas here.
my setup: ching chong t3/t04e tubo
stock injectors
stock map sensor
no intercooler of any sort
completely stock motor with 220k on it
custom turbo manifold
downpipe connected to stock exhaust, 2.5"
ghetto air filter till i can find one that fits
8psi spring in wastegate with open dump, no MBC for now
PLEASE make suggestions on things regarding turbos and or my setup!
remember im a poor highschooler!
some good info on turbo 4.0's:

mpg - ive seen some tests where it actually helps, but it all depends on the car, ill have to do a test to see. power wise, wihtout an intercooler i proably have a good 60hp minimum more right now.

No fuel management? I have been thinking about adding a turbo to mine. I figured try 2 times larger injectors and a afc hack.

How are your a/f ratios with this setup? Do you ever notice any pinging from it running lean?

how long have you been running this? No fuel management is going to kill this thing quick. you are adding all that air and no fuel lol. running lean is bad btw! upgrade fuel pump and fuel filter, injectors, and some sort of fuel management. safc will get you by but still risky.

A wideband and SAFC is a beautiful way to tune, actually.
