you can build as much if not more then 60lbs out of a hx35 but after about 35lbs it is in danger of going boom. i have seen a 60lbs gauge get buried with a stock turbo.

Yeah the hx35 turbos arent efficient after 35psi unless your running a twin setup. Plus the shafts in them are weak and when you over speed your turbo, it likes to come apart. I dont know which one i would worry about more probably the head gasket since that can be more expensive to fix in the long run if it blows and you dont catch it.

Yeah let me look at them, i will try to clean them up a little bit for you, I dont know if the orings on them are reusable or not, I dont really know how to clean the carbon off the injector tips but i was just thinking of using wd-40 and wiping them down or maybe even using a little bit of diesel fuel with a rag. I just put them in the box when i got my injectors when I Installed my ddp 90's back in November of last year. I will check my email and we can figure something out from there. The weather here has been kind of crappy, I hate the rain. So i havent really been outside too much and since i dont have a garage or shop it makes it kind of hard to do things.

Yeah i went down to medford back in the beginning of february, it was nice the whole 5 days i was down there. By the way dont drive 8 1/2 hours for a girl, god that was a wasted trip, i should of just kept driving to redding and went to J and H. I guess thats what you get when you go chaseing after the young ones she was only 17 im 22, I could of went to prison if anything happened so I am thankful for that, that nothing happened.

J and H diesel has been mentioned in diesel power just because they were the guys that first built chris' transmission with suncoast hard parts. I now know that jefferson state diesel is the place to go because thats chris' shop along with somebody else from what im told. I also like spec rite torque converters which is located there. Chris has also had a lot of help from lenny up at DDP.
