OK,

First, Im broke, so this is down the road thinking.

I thought i had figured out what I need to do for a turbo. I didnt want to move my downpipe back towards the firewall because of space issues, but i think i want a bigger turbo. My solution was a to find a WH1C or an HX35 and swap the exhaust housing for a 12CM H1C with the short exhuast casting.

But now Im worried about backing up the Turbo at High RPM. Can this be an issue with a 12CM?

I know I could always do a chopped manifold and solve all the problems but Id rather not, at least right now.

I don't think you'd have a problem with a non wastegated 12cm housing.

I like your answer......thread closed!

A WH1C has a 12cm housing on it already, just don't hook up the wastegate. I can hit about 30-32 lbs easy, EGTs are very manageable and I have no problems with towing. Works pretty good to be a readily available stock turbo. In the future, after I have my injectors built, I might upgrade the compressor wheel and housing and maybe get a 14cm turbine housing.

Yeah but the Housing on a WH1C is too long and would hit my firewall when the Exhaust was connected, thats why I was looking at swaping for a 1st gen short housing with no waste gate.

The h1c,wh1c and Hx35 have the same lenght, you can get the long tip in the Non gated.

don't think your gonna have any problems with over speeding an hx35, buddy of mine has a 24valve and he plugged the wastegate on his hx35, hits about 35psi, no reliability issues. so if he can't overspeed it then unless you've got a turned up p-pump don't worry about it.

The sticky on turbos said that the h1c was 1" shorter than the wastegated turbos. And that you could get a short 1st gen 12cm housing. Is that not right?
