Sled Pulling with an HX40

How many "OCCASIONAL" pullers out there pull on an HX40?

I bought some parts a while back to rebuild an HX40 turbo because the price was "right" and I knew once I got a good clutch I'd want to add more power (as well all do

).

So I'm still up in arms on who to send it to, but I'm leaning towards High Tech Turbo right now. Althought I just thought about it tonight and EEP was one place that I didn't call about a cartridge to rebuild it. Although I doubt they deal in those type's of things I bet they could give me some advise on pulling with it.

I don't plan on pulling more than 4 time's a year MAXIMUM, and I've heard as long as you keep the 40's wastegated below 40PSI then they will usually live. Well I plan on keeping it wastegated as well as an adjustable elbow on it to let it go no higher than 36PSI.

Comments, suggestions, thoughts wanted and appreciated.
