I started w/ POD's and HX35 that lasted about 4 months. Just ordered custom EDM's and looking into twins. If it were me. I would go ahead and get some big edm injectors. You can always run the pump turned down and if you ever decide to upgrade you've got that potential. I just ordered 6x.016 New Era's. Also the edm's have the proper spray angle and should be more efficient. From what I understand that is. JMHO! Have fun!

An hx35/12 plus some new era 370's are a very enjoyable pair. Im running them temporarily until I get things bolted up......

he runs an auto so the 12 prob wouldnt be the best for towing. a 14 or 16 would be better.

I would say the hx-35 with a 60mm compressor upgrade and a set of EDM's. I run POD's but mainly because I couldn't afford the EDM's. If you can't afford to by a bigger exhaust housing you could always port the 12cm. I was told that if you port it right you can get it real close if not bigger to a 14cm. Just make sure you get a waste gate. I am currently running my stock 18cm exhaust housing with the hx and I let off when the boost hits about 40, I am going to do some port work to my 12 and put that on so that I can lay into it and not let off. But like nick said I am VERY happy with my combo.

so the hx35 seems to be the way to go it seems, so i can basically just go to the bone yard and un bolt one right off the 2nd gens? also can i run my 18cm housing with the hx35? will i nhave to move my downpipe back, what do ya'll think about the compressor upgrades for my h1c instead? also who can pop test injectors, i wanna see if my stockers will last so i can get a bigger turbo first!
