Rob here some VE351 info for ya

A 35 would work fine for ya on the 95, I ran a small HY35 to 380rwhp and towed my 12k rv back and forth to Vancouver a few times. They sell adapters to go from 3in to 4in for your exhaust. A better find would be a VGT turbo. You could even rig up an exhaust brake for the truck. I have nothing thats cheap (just a few ball bearing turbos). I'm getting low on turbos, this unemployment thingy hurts my turbo stash.

I'm thinking that the turbine disk is different on the 40 to 35 turbos. So I might be wrong on the bearing housing info. I remember trying it but didn't get to far with it. I read on comp diesel that you can mod the housing of the 35 to fit onto 40.

I would have to be almost have my foot flat onto the floor for that kinda egt's. I just took mine for a hard rip today. I pulled into the 40's and max egt's was around 1200 deg's, with all the fuel in from my comp box. Hardly any smoke, man do I have to change these injectors.

You might have a boost leak, or the result from the timing adjustment? Which seal is leaking? If its the compressor side, how dirty is the air filter? What color is the compressor housing? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get an idea of how the turbo been working? Sometimes it could be other things. We could try one of Brett turbo, just to see. The 40 will be plus minus from the original turbo, you'll be hotter just putting around town, smokey, as its laggy. Towing, and putting more of a load on the truck, it should have cooler egt's than the original. It will just take more engine rpm's to get the turbo to spin. Hopefully that makes sense. Thats where twins or ball bearing turbo works nice.

900 post turbo, is well 900 post turbo, no real correlation to pre turbo numbers. As it varies with drive pressure, turbine housing type and size, wheel pitch, and number of blades ect...

I have a couple hx-35's here and an HE351ve just sitting, if you want to give them a try let me know.

My current one, I got on sale. I paid $1400 for it, typical they go for $1700. So far its my third ball bearing garrett. I keep selling them. I think that they work pretty nice. I think that your slightly hotter than typical, for just driving on the hiway. I get 800-900 pre-turbo at 110-120kph/4-5psi of boost. I'm going to build this one into twins one day. I want to run a GT-3782R over a K-31, but thats down the road some. Currently, I'm building a GT3582R over a S366/0.91. First off I'm going without an external gate, and then I put in a 44mm gate. Then a 50mm gate, just with a higher openning pressure. Life's kinda busy right now.

I probably can find you a new S362/71 or a S364/71 for less money than that ball bearing unit. They seem to work good as a single/twins as well. Using that BTH-3B would make for a nice set-up. There nothing wrong with using the 40, as well. Brandon the guy with the 01 white sport truck at the lightspeed dyno day ran a HX40/16 and a BTH-3B. Its a pretty fast truck. That 40 (Fred's old turbo), really should have the higher flow compressor wheel of that spare turbo that you got from me.
