Lots of threads out there on HX35 swaps,from what I gather not a hard,this is snorkel mod if it's in your truck get it out. https://www.dieselbombers.com/chevy-...orkel-mod.html

Look for turbo with a T3 flange so it will bolt directly to the manifold,there are adapters for the T4 to T3 but cost adds up faster that way.

Does anyone know how much boost the stock turbo produces before any adjustments

I thought the 93 turbo made 8 psi? I'm probably wrong though.
