I am looking for a new turbo and would appreciate your input. I currently have a hx35/40. I rarely tow, but would like to keep that capability. I really want low smoke, quickish spool, and enough air to keep things cool. I like drivability and don't race. Perhaps, I have too much injector as currently I have the comp dialed back and the smarty as well. I have too much fuel for the turbo I have at present.From my reading and thinking... A 63/68/14 might work well, but I am not sure. Money is always a concern as well... Plus, anybody want a hybrid?

I think that would work good with your mods. I am running a DDP 62/65/13 non-gated. It's a little laggy, but once it lights I have no smoke. Works well for towing too, I hardly see anything over 1000 and if I do only for a short period of time. It will smoke down low, but it is very controllable.

I really would prefer gated, but I am glad it works for you. bUMP

I have never dyno'ed it. Based off some really rough estimates, I would say 350+? I don't lack for grunt on low end, though with the hybrid it runs out of air at the top end. The hybrid also takes a lot of fuel to spool. I have read and re read your Garrett install... I really like the looks of it. My truck use and end goal is about the same as yours. I am just hesitant to spend that much on a turbo. That would likely be my first choice though. My other considerations were a Fleece controller and a VGE 351/451, but I don't like the added complexity to the system, and if it was so good, why don't I see more guys doing the Fleece VGE swap?

Honestly, if I had your setup, I'd be itchin' to get my hands on a 63/68.

The HE351 and the HX40 (7blade) use the same compressor wheel, what does the 35/40 use?It seems there are multiple variants. Are you sure you are running out of air? Or are you running out of turbine?

Do the he351cw ..,,, twin it later !!! Hahahaha At least it's cheap and good to 450-500 hp

My hybrid is 60-60-14 w/6 blade compressor.It bang spools w/Jammer 100's & Comp. 5x5, 1400F WOT on the test hill.Looks like 140's would spool quicker but have hotter WOT exh. temperatures.

The 7blade found in the HE351 will flow more air, but the turbine will probably flow less.

That... is a good question. I don't know for sure. I did some tweaking to the programmers this weekend and its driving way better. I am going to do some additional waste gate tuning after that. I suppose that I could still use more air/flow, but I am not lacking for power. I don't lack for oomph, spool, but I can get warmer than I want. If anything, I should pull the injectors, have them pop tested, and then trade them/sell them on a set of smaller ones to use less fuel. I really can't decide which way to go, so at the moment I am kinda circling. bigger turbo? smaller injectors? or nothing? As is, I can spin the 285s with ease and chirp the crap out of them during shifts.

Mine is a 60mm Borg Warner 6 blade. Ol'Headcase probably knows the lbs./min. rate but it's a good bit. Whistles all the time too. http://s131.photobucket.com/user/Clunk_/media/truckride.mp4.html?sort=3&o=16

For reference I saw very little difference moving from a super hx40 to a he351cw .... Except quicker spool and 50-100 deg egt drop.... Maybe

I do believe the Super HX40 and HE351CW share a compressor wheel, so that makes sense.
