RacinNdrummin, ya. The hx35 came on the 24v standard transmission dodges as well as other misc. applications (mine is off a street sweeper). The HE351 came off of the 5.9 common-rail. and the HE351VE is off of the newer 6.7L Cummins and is a has a variable geometry turbine housing. For more info on the vgt, check out dirtydiesels thread. Ive heard alot of 6.7 guys say the vgt is a good turbo but pretty much a throw away. Cant make alot of power with them over what they do stock, but i read somewhere you can get a batmo-wheel for them now. Fleece also offers a mechanical standalone controller that functions off of MAP only, there is a video of it on youtube. They spool insanely fast, and can really open up to let the engine breath in the high rpms and cruising down the road. The trick is controlling them. The HE351 is a fixed housing version of the HE351VE ive been told.
In any case look for a compressor between 55-60mm and roughly a 14cm turbine housing (smaller is better spool, bigger will breath better, lower egts and more top end.)

Yep there is actually a Chevy 6.5 guy with a he351ve with a Batmowheel on it. Pretty cool IMO but somewhat unneeded on our trucks. Those turbos stock can make in excess of 450hp which is good enough for us but not enough for most Cummins guys looking for insane power.

Yes it will work, but a good amount of work. Only reason I fabbed one on mine is because I replaced the turbo on my '03 7.3 PSD and had it as an extra. Had my best friend autocad an adapter and bolted it on. Barely fits under the cowel area, and I run an intercooler so fitting onto the snail wasn't an issue for me. Will it work? Yes, worth the time and money? ...eh
I should elaborate a bit, the 99-03 turbo I used uses a donut style exhaust inlet, imo, buy one without that style or buy an adapter kit to use a T4 flange like you already have, conseuently my turbo sits forward another inch because of the adapter. You'll also need to fab a pedestule. What I did was weld up a mount, cap off the stock return hole, and just send the return line down to the oil pan. I'm currently on the hunt for a different turbo because I really don't wanna spend the money rebuilding my old PSD turbo.

About 20psi. Had been told 20psi was an idi's limit until about 6 months ago when I stumbled upon this forum's idi threads. It's wasted at 20psi, can probably push about 25 through it, but 28 was all I could get out of it when it was on my psd. I did change the wheel out. I'm most likely going to change my turbo out for something else when I get a little extra money together.
