shooot! I NEED A 12v CUMMINS! use this 6.5 truck for camping!!!!! ...I NEED HELP: i got the stock borgwarner, stock holset RX, or this hx35 and i think this hx35 is gunna be too much boost.... (which one do i use?)

i bumped up the fuel a 1/4 turn in the injector pump, i guess i can increse if needed but will have to deal with the heat. rollin coal down the HWY out the hood stack but having the turbo lag and seal leak. want a better system also, ya know.
