Hx35 with a 12 WG housing

Hey guy's came across a h1c with a 12 wg housing on it so I am going to pull the 12 housing off and put it on my HX35 . What should I watch for when towing ? I am going to be pulling 3500 up to Reno Via 395 and then 6500lb's Back home Via Hwy 99 and hwy 58 back to home ?I am installing a EGT gauge tomorrow and I'm going to try and get some good reading from my current set/up HX35/16 housing


Thank's for the Help Guy's

I don't think you'll have a problem. I have a hx35/12 on my crew with a Denny t, 3k gsk, bhaf and 4" exhaust and never see over 1250 pre turbo and that's pulling about 12000lbs. With 6000-7000lbs it doesn't break 1100 f.

Keep your pre turbo egts under 1300 constant and 1500 peak intermittent and you'll be fine

When its unhooked it should be closed. I would just leave it like that. Do you have a boost gauge? It should be around 25psi with your mods.

I love the smaller housing/quik spooling turbos. I tow a lot the mountains. the key to egt control/fuel economy is the fuel pin. ihave a ground stock one I rotate to the shallow side for towing with my 5x.0013 injectors. plug the wastegate and tune fuel for 30-32 psi max boost for best power/efficiency with thte hx-35
