Yeah I'm running 50psi out of a stock hx35. It is a semi common practice. I will just have to send the wife away on another long weekend trip, to get the twins on. I think I will build a custom exhaust mani, and run a 60mm external gate. Ultimately I would like to machine off the cast intake, and build a tubular intake mani for it too, but for now, an electric lift pump, some sticks, and that gt4294 should put me into the 500whp range. To get there I will have about $6000 into it including the truck.

Swapping a 2000 TDI motor and tranny into it. Some 7hole race injectors, custom chip tune, and probably twins for it too, as i seem to collect turbos Right now I just need to get the motor and tranny in and get it on the road, so the wife will leave me alone.

Yup, need to go bigger and better though, that and the TDI gets better fuel millage on the highway and is more drivable then the idi.

When I get the GT4294 on mine, I will make as much or more HP then the ISX....

However I still would really love a dohc 5.9 cummins.
