hx35 vs moded hc1

won't notice a difference.


put the gds 60mm kit on the hx35 and put it on so you get the nice hx35 whistle

Can you fill out your sig? info on truck and stuff so we can help. thanks

the cheapest would be the hc1 with the 60mm wheel. like crossy's son said you won't notice a difference between the two.

If you can get the HX35 cheaper than the GDS kit, than run the HX. If you plan on making more than about 300rwhp, I wouldn't go with either one though.

OK, I know that this has been beat to death, and I don't want to steal Iam's thread, but anyways:

What would be the next turbo step up after the HC1 + 60mm comp wheel or HX35?

Thanks,
JP.

P.S.:

Iam:

If you just upgrade your compressor you can leave the existing 3" exhaust as it is. Which exhaust housing do you currently have?

JP.

You can upgrade the original or put on an HX-35. Anything bigger will need a new downpipe.

HX-40 or an HTBG.

Better than the upgraded H1C? There isn't enough difference to matter. If you can find an HX35 for cheaper than the GDS comp. whell upgrade, then run it. If you can't find a cheap HX35, go with the GDS upgrade.
