I think it's a good setup, because i was going to do a HX52 over a HX35, but the HX35 has such a small exhaust housing that it would make crazy drive pressures...

I'm thinking that since both HX40 and HX60 are non-WG and have big exhaust housings this will clean up much better and still have the EGTs in order since i have the 4k GSK...

I'll just start off in 1st gear if i have to tow heavy and keep them breathing... no low boost smoke hauling with something heavy...

How much should i raise the pop? they're set at 260bar... should i go 20bar up?

That should work fine. What about the 40?

18 or 16cm^2, both are non-WG

I think this will work fine... and drive pressures should be minimal...

I have both exhaust housings, so i can choose what to use...

I think that 18cm^2 won't be too laggy with 4k GSKs...
