If your going to an HX35, you'll probably be turning the fuel up to make use of it anyway. A 16 is as small as you want to go without a waste gate. The 35 should make up for a lot of the lag at the bottom, the 16 may still give you. It will probably be more friendly on the freeway too. The 16 should be the cheapest too, for a new one anyway.

Hey Dave, on your advice I put in a BHAF with a mount and splash gard of my own using a couple of plastic 6 gallon buckets. You are right on about it being more fun in traffic. Thanks, dana70, (Lew)

I like to see my boost gauge get over 30psig daily!

I think I found myself a non-wastegated 14 that I'll need to have ported to match the manifold. I'm going to try to have that done before the PDR 1st gen day.
