I'm running a simular setup and havnt had any problems with the stock turbo. I want to upgrade, but dont have the money. before I did the injectors, timing, and gsk it would hit 35psi, but now after all that it hits 40 with no problem, which is somthing Ive learned to keep an eye on cause I dont wanna over spool it. My pyro only gets over 1200 when I get on it and have yet to have it hit 1500. nning the "dirty" 370's...

if you still have the stock 12cm housing on the hx35 it would help greatly if you drilled out your wastegate so it will vent all 6 cyl insted of the front 3

take the plate off the back of the turbo and open the wastegate. now there is a divider for the front 3 and rear 3 cylinders drill a hole in it. the biger the better.

I think 7/8" is the biggest you can go for the flapper to seal
