Then throw your H1C up on ebay... if you can't get $75-100 for it, I'd be VERY surprised...

so now you're into your "upgrade" for under $200 with basicly no downtime on the truck, and no wrench time on the turbo (you ever go to bust the turbine housing off a 15yr old turbo w/ a couple hundred thousand on it? not my definition of fun)

roll with that for a while... you'll have plenty of other areas to address (converter/VB or clutch, injectors, etc.) and the HX35 will keep up pretty good... things will start getting hot, but just keep setting aside a little money and get you a nice 62mm S300 hybrid or heck, get freaky and hang an HT3B or S400 under that HX35 and have you a nice budget set of twins!
