12v turbo upgrade

Just purchased an Hx40 for my first gen. It is a 1990 non intercooled truck. Pump is turned up and have a stage 2 fuel pin. I am looking for a crossover tube adapter for my intake or a kit to make this turbo work with my crossover tube

Did a quick search and I don't think anyone has ever made an intake tube for a NI Cummins. However, it shouldn't be hard to fabricate one.

Cooler Tubez used to make a NI crossover tube, until new laws made it too hard for a little company to go through all the testing and such.

THD now sells a few different versions of a bigger custom NI crossover tube. I have one for a HX-35 on my shelf, incase I need it for a build.

THD stands for:
The Hungry Diesel.

Well then...That THD cross over pipe should be a bolt on then.
The HX35 is a pretty good upgrade for a 1st gen.
I have three 1st gen motored rigs with basically that turbo installed as an upgrade.

I'm going to massage the HX35 compressor outlet enough so I can use a silicone adapter into the stock crossover.

IIRC his 6 BT was in a '68 Plymouth Satellite. I think the write up was in the Cummins Conversion section and is several years old.
