Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Turbo housing

[SHobbs]

Where are the turbo gurus. I am planning on putting in a set of Mach 1. 5's or Mach 2's soon. To help control the EGT's better I 'm thinking it would be a good idea to change the 12cm housing on my HX35 to a 14cm. This would also give me more mid and top range. Has anyone done this before, is it complicated or just a straight forward swap. I have done my homework on this, I talked to Piers and was told that the HX35 is a good turbo and will support a 14cm housing. One more thing, my current housing is wastegated so would I need a 14cm waste gated housing? Looks like there is something similar to a snap ring on the backside of the housing, so does that come off and the housing comes off by pulling it forward or does the turbo need to be removed to do this. Any info is appreciated.



Merry Christmas everybody and Happy New Year
