Air flow

I am at a point of turning the injector pump up that I can get it to smoke pretty good if I want and get the egts up pretty fast. So I have come to the conclusion that I need more airflow. Can you get a compressor wheel that will move more air, or any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks

You could install an HX35, an HX40 or have your stock turbo machined to take a bigger wheel. I installed a turbo built by Hytech turbo out of Utah. They took a stock H1C and installed an HX40 compressor wheel.
It is difficult to stop a first gen from smoking, their fuel systems can not atomize the fuel as well as P-pump engines. More air is good but better fuel atomization is what is needed most.
Good luck and enjoy BOMBing
