My deal of the year

While doing my daily search for cummins on craigslist, I came up with an eyecathcher. HX40W. Ended up stumbling on one heck of a deal!!! Reman never installed, looks like brand new, no play what so ever. HX40W with the so desired 16cm wg housing. $450. I jumped on it immediately and drove 75miles and its now in my hands. If only I had a clutch to stand up to it .

I also have some new injectors. They are 6 hole EDMs unknown hole size. May be stupid, but I practically stole them for the deal I got. They are for sure more powerful than my pod's, so Im gonna stick them in for power comparison, then bolt the 40 on, and probably wave bye to my clutch.

I ran my PODs for a long time with no intercooler or turbo upgrade, 2 turns on the fuel screw and about 1300*.

Does yours have the wastegate on the bottom side? Looks like Ill have to finally eliminate the heat exchanger from my old auto. Any concern with the oil return line?
