I haven't checked the egt I am just impressed with how much it cleared up the smoke down low. It has much better low rpm manners. I did notice that I gained about 4 psi of boost.

hey-Hey!!!,
Looks like I'm now in the market for a V-band outlet and a waste gate controller that can mount with a clocked cold-side scroll on my HX35... but first on with the 16 cm housing.
cheers,
Douglas

Who uses the top end when towing? 12cm is by far the superior housing for towing, and about 90% of all stock turbo equipped 12v's. Besides, any 12v is gonna be hot on the top end anyway...it's more a factor of the anemic head than any exhaust housing. If I'm just playing around, the pyro is the last thing on my mind. If it's under 1600, I need more fuel

I hear ya, and I wasn't busting on you, actually giving thumbs up for the 12cm install. For a driver with 300 or less hp to the ground, it's hard to beat the 12. Street manners are awesome and torque is just rediculous CowboyCustoms and I put a 12 on his '93 and it was just wicked and wouldn't break 1300. Any more fuel and the compressor side of the charger is just out of wind anyway, regardless of ex housing.

I know you werent busting me no worries. I was suprised that I actually gained 4 psi I didnt think I would gain much. I thought it would just change when the boost comes on.

Right one...glad your liking it. Is your truck auto or manual? I'm trying to decided if I should go 16 or 12 with my NV4500? Think most guys recommend the 12 for a manual trans truck.
