Hx35

Would an HX35 be much of an upgrade for my truck? They said It came off an 02 or 03.

Compressor wheel isn't much larger than your stock h1c. The only difference is that it's wastegated and it has a 12cm housing. Spool would be nice and quick but not sure how well it would complement your auto trans. Although, if you can pick it up for cheap, it might be worth trying out. You can always put the 60mm upgrade on it but I've read that it's about the equivalent of an h1c with a 60mm upgrade.

There isn't anything wrong with my turbo but I just thought if I could get for cheap that it might help me a little I really want a variable geometry turbo.

How much is the hx-35 going for? I've seen used ones in decent shape for as low as $120. I wouldn't pay much more than $200 for one IMO. If you want a VGT, just keep saving your pennies and get one when you have enough dinero rather than the hx-35.

Yea I think I am just going to wait I think the vgt will be much cooler anyway. The hx35 I was looking at was 150 obo. But it is a ride for me to get it. I saw a guy on ebay selling the vgt turbos for around 400. The vgt will be a lot more work I think but in the end it will be the best for what I want and I get the exhaust brake. The exhaust brake won't to me much good with the auto but it is still cool lol...
