Wow, thats going to be a pretty big turbo for the 617! Its an HY-35 not an HX-35? I know the older ones are HX's. Your gonna hafta do some custom inlet/intake work, that turbo has a much bigger inducer bore. Its gonna take some RPM and fuel to get that sucker lit! Beeings its off of a 5.9L engine its nearly double in displacment to the 617 but that will also keep you out of boost for normal driving and might get you some decent MPG gains

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
