a 14cm exhaust housing and a cheap HTT compresor upgrade will get you to 400 alot more efficently. but then its not really a hx-35 anymore.

What is the benifit of putting an hx40 on my 24v? I have a friend with one for sale. Rebuilt not new, papers to show that. I would need an adapter to get it to fit my stock manifold right?

Yeap... You'll be fine on 5x5 on a Edge juice... I'm running my Edge Comp on 5x5 daily and no problems with EGT or boost pressures...

MAX Boost 32-34 PSI
MAX Pyro 1,300*F to 1,350*F

Like DieselMinded said, I too went to the ATS manifolds, and I also added the 300hp injectors, and Edge Juice platform, the truck is way faster, and snappier, but I worry about the drop in fuel pressure and boost and weather I am hurting my truck more then anything. Also my tranny is still stock, and I am in the process of upgrading the fuel pump with a FASS. I dont' know, am I good, or am I just going to be hurting it in the long run DieselMinded?????

Ok so Ive been reading up on this and have read that just about everyone is able to hit around 30 to 35psi on their stock turbo w/the juice.But the most Ive been able to hit is 27psi with the juice set on 5x5. Is this normal or could I possibly have a boost leak or is there something else going wrong. Also if it is a boost leake were would be the main places to look for the leak.

Thanks

Alright guys I think I figured my problem out, had the max boost set at 30 psi changed to 35 psi hopefully this fixed the problem. Now another ?, is it normal for the turbo to have a roaing sound when it gets above about 23 psi.
