Turbine housing Options w/ Pacbrake

[drees1]

I have a #11 plate in the 215 engine and an ACF kit. If I go to 370's I will probably do the turbo at the same time. I have the stock HX35. What are my housing or turbo options without changing the Pacbrake? I heard the HX40 requires a new Pacbrake and may interfere with the sheetmetal. Would the wastegated 14 housing or non wasted 16 work? My interest is towing ability with 16,000 to 24,000 GCW. For the 14 wasted vs. the 16, what is the lowest rpm where boost will fall off in a hard pull? Which is better for me? Thanks for replys

I'm in the process of getting what Diesel Dynamics calls Stage 2 which includes a 16 cm housing which will work with my Pac brake.

I have 19000 gcw and just come out of OD if the RPM starts to drop. Hope this helps.

Helped a friend install a non-wastegated 16 cm housing from Piers. In order to make it fit the Pac-Brake we had to move the exhaust system back 2". Just cut one hanger and rewelded it. Helped that he was cat-less and straight piped otherwise it would have been a lot more work.
