for those wanting to build hx35/40 hybrids
if you've been researching you've probably found the htt stage 3 compressor and wheel upgrade. puredieselpower has it for 315
I found this site today that has the following:
Compressor Housing for HX40 HX40W 61.00mm Bore Polished by BAE
Compressor Wheel for Holset HX40 Super 40 4035879 59.50mm Inducer - 86.00mm Exducer
i dont know the quality of their parts but they seem reputable. this gets you the desired, higher flowing 7 blade hx40 wheel and a polished housing for $100 less than the "stage 3" upgrade. i had a hard time finding this so I figured I'd help others who were looking to build a hybrid.

i've heard that people like the 6 blade because it has a loud whistle but that the 7 blade is the desirable wheel. that's why it's used for the super 40/35 hybrids and why it's a little more expensive. but they have the 6 blade and 8 blade wheels too.
its worth it if your budget is tight and your not interested in making a whole bunch of power. it will still be choky in higher rpms but will flow a bit more air down low. egts will go down but not significantly. its an improvement but not a big one.
Well thats a bummer! I knew it was not going to be a big power maker but maybe its best to save for a new turbo, but crap they are spendy. But maybe i will do it right the put the hx35 on the 92
