I would say go with an HE351CW or some type of HX40 with a T3 flange and 3'' exhaust out let (which most HX40 are anyways).
The problem with the HE351CW is that I think it might have a 3.5'' exhaust outlet on the back of the turbocharger.
If you want to use a turbo with a 3.5'' outlet talk to me first because I have the hard to find cummins 3.5'' to 4 inch elbow, a 3.5 down pipe flange, a 3.5'' V-band clamp and a 3.5'' v-band clamp adaptor.
OK. I'm intrigued here. You say its pretty simple and I don't doubt you. I guess it comes down to how much fe would be gained and how much would it cost to do it. I'm definitely interested though. I do want to go all out with each mod so im not overly interested in medium upgrades over what I already have. But like I said this is new territory for me and I'm learning allot every day. I'm sure I will waste some time and money in the process. My goal is to minimize it as much as possible. :-)
