if you want to be fast dont do a 6speed, just extra gears and they shift slow, but then any double disk clutch will shift slower than a single disk clutch.

A dual disk clutch and heavy traffic is not fun at all...

It's amazing the difference from driving a truck with a DD, to going to a stock truck. The stockers shift so much easier, and drive way better.

My only experience is with my brother's '97. Going from his truck, to a stock '97 is quite the difference.

Put a 12cm wastegated on your secondary,

and why not put a 60mm wheel on your secondary? More air = more power.

And if you don't get the 60mm wheel/housing then you don't get a MWE slot. because H1c's dont have it.
Yeah but in a set of twins you're force feeding it with 20-30psi of air so i'm thinking the MWE slot isn't as important as it would be in a single?

I'm just saying if using the stock turbo in a set of twins, I wouldn't waste any money on upgrading it. If anything just spend the $200 on a used hx35 you get the 12cm wastegated housing and MWE.

i wanted to get away from the stock H1c. now keep in mind that this would be a daily driver. so i need some street manners but here in MT we dont have too much heavy traffic unless its a big town like bozeman, missoula, billings and greatfalls. and i live in Butte so we dont have too heavy of traffic. Also with the clutch i didnt mean a DD. just a SD that can handle some power.

do NOT use a 12cm housing on the twins with an hx35 or h1c or hybrid. It is way to small. Been down that road. IMO your going to be better off with a 14cm housing. Ideal would be a 14cm or 16cm non-WG with and external WG. I'd also skip on the ht3b unless you're getting one heck of a deal. You can pickup an s471 or s472 depending on who's selling it for about the same money. It'll flow more are and spool way faster than an ht3b.

Dang, thats what I said back in post #12

"Also I think i'd use a 16 or 18 cm exhaust housing with an external wastegate."

And now someone with actual experience confirmed what I said, mostly.
