Ive been reading about the 14cm and 16 cm housings. Im not sure which one to get. I got on my truck pretty hard today on the way to work. The egts climb stupid fast. That makes me think 16. But I hate to buy one and it be to big. I'm gonna put an intercooler on it when I get home but I don't think that will be enough at wot to keep the egts down. So that make me think 14. Then I think just wAit till I get the intercooler on and see. But I have some pretty good pulls on the way back home. I wonder if I put the stock fuel pin back n would that bring the egt back down. Any suggestions r greatly appreciated. And where would I get the rubber diafram for the afc. That way I could just drop the stock pin n it. Thanks

Any local Bosch injector shop will have that diaphragm. Or, hungry diesel.com may have that part. I bought mine from him last year.
Dan, if you look back in the archive posts on turbo mods, the dates of 2000-2004, you will see that most suggestions for best bang for the buck was a 2nd Gen HX35 coupled with a 16cm exhaust housing. Flowed enough air for towing purposes, and also spooled quick enough for in town driving.

Far as driving it everyday it does fine as long as u don't hold it to the floor from a dead stop. I can ease into it and control the egts. I'll take a video tomar after I get off work. Does it "NEED " a wastegate

The smaller exhaust housing work better for spool up but having a waste gate is pretty nice if not needed.
Otherwise the old 18CM or even the "lag master" 21 CM 1st gen housing took forever to spool up but didn't need the waste gate.

That doesn't look like a stock 2nd gen HX-35 to me.
I have never seen "muffling device" cast into the Ex. housing on any of the 2nd gens I have worked on.
On a side note...who sells that cross over tube?
