Default compound turbo setup

Can you compound a HX 35 and a HT3B turbo, or would that be a bad idea?

Very nice. Do you know what kind of pressures those people are pushing?

Depends on fueling. Its possible to push 55-60lbs with it. You will want to address the exhaust side of the hx35, as they are quite restrictive. Either an external wastegate, or a larger housing with a ported wastegate.

try and find a used 14cm exhaust housing for your hx35.

It is a very dependable setup and frankly is the one I would build. I know a few 12V trucks set up this way running 58# boost just fine. Granted if you push it or anything that hard you will need studs and such but it can be done. The numbers are very similar for a 24V (ISB) truck.
