I run and upgraded hx40. Your stock down pipe will have to be changed over to an hx40 style. Stock 40s I've heard have problems with the shaft breaking under hard acceleration when you let of the accelerator real quick. Max 45-50 psi of boost.

The HX35 has a 3" outlet, I believe you will need a 4" outlet down pipe, they are around $130.

The HX40 will push a little more boost than a 35 but with more volume. Sounds like the price is right to try it.
