Gap, .......................you got to go to the 12v forums. you can't gin more than 49 psi of boost without o-ringing it. there is a lot of controversy on the hx 35 building more than 50 psi of boost. i know a bunch of people that have the wastegates blocked off an are seeing 60+psi of boost. the research that i have done on the subject suggest that after 35 psi of boost. the max of the hx 35. that it kinda floods past the turbo and is not doing anything a lot of good. basically. not really sure on all of the details about it. when you o-ring the head it will hold upwards of 150 psi of boost. this is a real pain in the a-- to do yourself. pdr, schieds, or enterprise will do this for you at a cost that is so worth while. you have to mill the head down until it is flat again, replace the head bolts when you take the head off! for $20 it is worth it! my head has been ringed, just haven't put 50+ psi of boost to it........yet! just hooler at me with anymore questions. i'll be glad to help you out.
