I agree, either if them would be a good match to ddp3s.

Well, for cheap, I would do an HE351. You guys are comparing apples to oranges in terms of flow of a 60mm larger trim HE351 to a 58mm smaller trim HY35. The HE will flow more into and out of than the HY.
If you have the bones, something like a 62 or 64 compressor with a 60's turbine tucked into a 12cm or .8x A/R housing.

Even at 350hp, I would still enjoy a slightly larger housing.

in testing ive found large exhaust housings to be a poor excuse for proper tuning/set-up. the he-351 cools air better than a n hx-35 with a 18 cm housing. smaller housings are more fuel effecient. in towing hills i found the truck had more usuable power when testing an hx-35 /14 vs hx-35/12. air in is more important on a turbo engine than flow out within reason. big exhaust housing are old ,poor technology. keep the turbo in it "map" and it will cool.

So what would you call a stock 1st gen turbo? Super tiny?

Yes, super tiny is correct. Not much charger is needed for a vehicle with an rpm ceiling of 2200 rpm and 160hp.

I have a he351vgt. It is an awesome turbo for my combo. I think if more people would try one there would be more happy people out there.
The two big problems with them is: The flange doesn't directly bolt up, and no one wants to mess with the control section.
The flange can be overcome with adapters or a bit of machining.
The control section is a neat feature that can be used in alot of ways in our favor. Most people who try these adapt a wastegate actuator to the control rod. This seems to work well as most guys post great results from this. I've heard of guys using cables to control them from the cab(I like this). I used an electric motor to control the vgt from in the cab.
My point with this is if you can get it to function as a vgt, great...But it doesn't NEED to vary all the time. The 351vgt allows you to set your exhaust housing anywhere anywhere between closed and wide open. It is effectively an exhaust housing that can be set in a fixed position between 0cm to 23cm. You can tune the turbo to your engine needs without changing exhaust housings. Something as simple as a threaded rod could set the turbine in a fixed position.
My truck does not vary the position while driving unless I move the position with a switch from in the cab. I set it and forget it. It does help to close the housing for cold start warm up, or move it going down the freeway with a load to get the best egt.(try that with a fixed housing turbo)
The compressor section is sized great for my application, Im not sure how much more fuel it would clear up, but I REALLY like it in my truck.
