Swapped turbo but confused

We put a different compressor wheel on it but I can't remember the specs. We have the same gauges same tranny rear ends mine is just an ext cab an his is a single. He has his Pyro in the wrong spot tho, it's after the turbo not pre turbo in the manifold like mine. Would a 215 pump vs 175 pump make that much of a difference?

well the compressor and pump differences could be that much! depending on the compressor wheel that you put on it. but like i said with that much boost running through it the life of the turbo is drasticly reduced! making power isn't just boost pressure, its cfm. a bigger turbo will push more air at say 20psi boost than the hx35 will at 20psi. thats where the power comes from.

Oops didn't clarify that we put the comp wheel when it was on the 96. So it would of been all pump differences. And yes I already knew that it was hard on them but I was wondering why it make such a difference. Also what's the difference between a wh1c an hx35? They looked the exact same but the Id plate says different. What holds up to more boost? This is just temporary till I get a 62/74/14 an then build twins from there I believe that was the right specs. Thanks for the help
