I get a good "puff" on hard take off, and a light haze until about 10lbs of boost. I have my HY turnbuckled and it boosts over 30lbs (limit of my gauge). Just wondering how different it would be with someones HX take off from an upgrade?

Currently EGTs stay in check but I haven't tried towing my boat (~7k lbs) up any mountains lately, but I'm still guessing I can keep them in check.

So would it even be worth it? I'm an old guy and drive it daily, and really like where it is now (performance wise) so I only have a few more mods I'd like to do (exhaust and maybe some bling for the intake).

 

It'll help, the HX moves more air than our HY's do. Plus you can upgrade the housings to something bigger for fairly cheap. It won't be a MASSIVE difference like some of the other turbos, but it will help!

kieth an HX35 with 14cm housing would be perfect for you, they still spool fast, and it will keep egts in check.

I towed 8k with 100horse sticks and my comp on level 3 and never had egt problems with my 35/14.

 

I think an HX-35/12 would make a very noticable difference.... and if you mean what you say (see quote) I would not get, not do you need, a 14cm housing... IMO! Not on an Automatic!!
You would be comfortable and 'use to' a HX-35/12 in about three -four days! A 35/14 will require driving around pre boost smoke, with light throttle till the boost comes in.... especially this time of yr!
I've had 2 14's (medium and big single turbos) and disliked them both!

 

Was just thinking as I'm anticipating a few of the guys upgrading soon (with all these sticks we've been installing) and thought the HX may help a bit. I'll try the stock version 1st before going to a 14cm version. Now just have to figure out how to not tell the wife about it

 

Does anyone know if an HY35 compressor housing will fit on an HX35 frame and compressor wheel?
