an hx35 is a really week upgrade though. especially if you plan on running injectors and all fuel upgrades. id go with an hx40 at the minimum. or if you got the dough to drop 1300-1500 bucks on a turbo get a phat shaft or a super b or something along those lines. remember you get what you pay for

the wheels run anywhere from like 100-150 bucks i believe. but then you need to get it machined to clear the wheel IIRC and you will also need to have the shaft rebalanced so your probably looking at 4-500 said and done to do it the right way.

and even with that, you still cant go over about 30 pounds of boost without it being worthless. then your getting out the turbos map and just sending hot air into the engine and it wont gain you anymore power

The GDS 60mm upgrade is $250 and comes complete with a new housing:

Upgrade Compressor Housing & Wheel combo (60mm inducer) for 1991.5-1994 Turbochargers

It is a fine upgrade for up to around 300hp or 30psi. It just depends on what your power goals/needs are.
