anybody on here done their own custom turbo kit for one of these old IDIs? I think id rather make my own kit rather than pay for a Banks or Hypermax. Nothing against those but they cost double what my truck is worth. any ideas on what turbos would work good on the IDI? and also what is the best routing for the exhaust to the turbo and turbo back? Rather make my own also because I can weld pretty good, so i could make my own exhaust and all that jazz. I was thinking maybe an old H1C off of a 12 valve cummins or something of that nature. any ideas??

Several people have. If you check out GregOH (that's close to his handle ) he welded up a custom kit to run his HX35. Might consider a used kit. They pop up fairly regular and you can typically get one for around 600-800 all in. Or buy a used kit with trashed turbo cheap and use it for the plumbing.
