Is there brake fluid in your master cylinder? That's gonna be important ya know....
In the picture it looks empty.Yes and is blead, Im more worred as to why I had to blead the clutch.

Yea, it dose go past and as far as my curiosity gose is 3000rpm but dont want it there. I think she could do like @IDIoit ' s Man-chair-O, if I gave it a little bit more fuel. Before I go about turning up the fuel, need to get the custom dispaly panel set up for egt.
The way they work is not as predicted, its a progessive ramp with steps and I like how it is with the 3.55 gears. This is the steps of what happens...
~1400 - bellow this point there is something but need to be easy off the clutch, so to have a soft shift without any sort of shutter/chugging that gives feeling the drive train could be trying to move around. She will crawl up a grade with ease and no issue of take off, this is with enough weight to soften ton and a half springs.
~1500-2300 - In this area, I think the turbo is active but is lazzy. It will get moving but still slow to progress, just not as bad and will get out of its own way. There is no smoke out the pipes if I give it here, making me think needs a little bit more fuel.
~2300-2500 - There is now some go, but dont really hear the turbo yet. Im still looking for smoke here and not seeing any yet. This area is fine to shift, if after a smooth gentle motion.
~2500-2800 - I am getting a whistle now and some more go-go. Shifting here gives kwik motion, but the spread leaves a little need at the start of the next gear.
~2800 - Above this is more whistle and she is asking to send. I dont intend to test how far she will send above this, just that its somewhere over 3000rpm.
All and all, Im happy with what the beast I made could do. I dont see need for too much more fuel and think a 90cc ip would do fine, for what I want of her.

HY35 has the 9cm2 housings. HX is 12.
If you have hx35's, I'd try using an hy35, as they can be found semi-easily off auto cummins trucks in the 2000-2001, before I'd buy those housings at 260 a pop. The hy exhaust housing will be close to that .63 you linked.
I've got an hy35 under the bench right now actually.
IDK what @IDIoit runs currently, but hopefully he chimes in. I want to say he tried powerstroke turbos first, and they were lazy pos's.

no go on the TP38's been there. done that. peeked 8 psi at 3500 rpms. even with .81 exhaust housings.
i did buy a couple T04e's and i saw a max of 25 psi on a stock turbo calibrated pump, turned up 2-3 flats.
but the bearings/oil seals shat the bed quick.
bought another set of t04e's and sent them to a buddy and he reworked them, they have been great.
i still havnt bought a hot IP for this rig, yet.
as far as putting them behind the truck....
some think its cool. but its the lazy way out IMO.
i prefer to keep them near the engine.
i have deleted my wastegates.
found them to be in the way, and i really dont care to regulate my boost. i want all of it.
Would you happen to know the spec of the t04e you where or the reworked ones?

Okay, so you have you power number goal ready right? Go ahead and divide that by 2.75 For this example, I will be using 300 crank hp, which I get 109.1, this is approximately how many ccs of fuel you will need to make that power. This is the most common power level of idis I build, using my max-effort db2 build which makes around 110 ccs at 3000 rpms, general hp peak. From my experience, you need about 7.5 cfm to burn 1cc of fuel in an idi, so for 300 hp goal we need about 825 cfm minimum, however very few maps show cfm, so we will need to convert that to the most commonly used lbs/min. We can do this by dividing our target cfm by 14.47, which we get about 57 lbs/min. Looking at the map above of the factory turbo, you can see the turbo wasnt even tested past 53 lbs/min so you know instantly that this is not the turbo for you, so lets look at some options.
250 ÷ 2.75=90.91
90.91 × 7.5=681.82
681.82 ÷ 2=340.91cfm
340.91/ 14.47=23.56lb
14.45 psi at 500 ft
boost is 20 psi
(20 + 14.45) / (14.7 - 1) = 2.51
20psi
3.65 x 2500 x 75 x 2.51 / 81032 = 21.198 lbs/min
6psi
3.65 x 1000 x 75 x 1.49 / 81032 = 5.03 lbs/min
300 / 2.75 = 109.1
109.1 * 7.5 = 818.25
818.25 / 2 = 409.13
409.13 / 14.47 = 28.27
Well I just returned from a test run with it wired shut as you suggested and it lowered the onset of boost 150/200 rpm's but the real difference was in total boost and the rate of boost build.
This was with fuel settings unchanged EGT's were higher from 1500 to 2000 rpm's by 150*/200* but only 100* above that max boost went from 20 to 32 @ 2500 rpm.
This has me wondering if I am running at 6cm at this point and it will still pull to the governor with the reasonable EGT numbers If it might be worth trying the 8cm housing
As it will fit both my H1C and HX35 I am tempted to take a chance on it it is only about $50.00 more than I have spent on parts to try this.
How can I tell if I am having surge problems other then hearing it,I have spent too many years in the machine shop and not enough of it with hearing protection and am nearly deaf at many frequencies....my family all tell me how cool the turbo sounds and I cant hear it but at least I know that the rest of the world can will the boost gauge bounce around a lot if it is surging?
I am too damn sore from the last 3 days getting it all together to run it to start dis-assembly today so no new info for a day or to
Boost from 1,500 to 2,000 a bit higher under part throttle say 3 or 4 lbs. under full throttle it took a couple of seconds to go from 15 to 30 ti came on real quick. I was thinking about the 8cm without the valve. The more I learn the more I think, I know there is no magic bullet and am just thinking out loud. I have not given up on the valve...yet the jury is still out but I am not wed to it either I just want more usable power when I am in 4 wheel drive without the excess smoke, I guess I want my cake and to eat it too The way it acted a higher rpm's with the valve wired shut has me confused it raised more questions than it answered, and I have enough imagination
and tools to get myself into real trouble under those conditions
One thing I forgot to bring up is that I started this project to get the performance I was getting with the pump turned way up compared to where it is set now
I don't want to draw the attention of the CARB thugs or their militant followers and it just does not seem correct to waste all that fuel, I know that there is a way to do it cleanly but I'm not yet there
I have tried several different turbos in my truck, hx30w9, hx35w12 24v, hy35w9, he351 04.5 and up HO dodge, hx30/hy35w9 and now run a (hx/hy35/)/hx30w9 turbo. I have a 01 hy35 compressor housing, wheel, cartrage, and a hx30 turbine wheel and turbine housing. The 24V hx35 and hy35 use the same compressor wheel. I went with this set up due to the fact my stock hx30w would overboost at the bottom and mid range and underboost at the top end. 10 psi at a level 55-60mph cruise. I could hit 29psi by 2000rpm but could not make any more then that. It felt like I was hitting a wall with it. The hy35 and hybrid seam to make about 20% more power then the hx30. The hx35 had bad compressor surge. The hy35 was a good mid range and top end turbo, but would underboost below 2200rpm. 1-2psi at 55-60 If i was pulling I would hit 26psi on a hill in 3rd but my egt's would run about 1300-1350. I would back out of it to hold 1200, but by that time i would be about 17psi and 75hp less. At 1600 I could only make about 7psi and no power. I needed a turbo with just a little more mid range. About 5psi more at 22-2400rpm, and a lot more bottom. The he351 gave me more upper to top end. Same fuel setting produced 32psi boost, but less bottom end boost. The hydrid I run now works nice, but under 1900rpm is subject to compressor surge. I have a steep hill I drive over every day. and at 1600rpm have a hard time pulling it with out getting surge. It comes in at 17psi at that speed. The higher the rpm the higher the surge limit. About 1900rpm it is no longer a problem.
H1c
I've put 9cm housings on the H1C and had a good all around turbo that went up to 28psi. Talk to Tims turbo thats where I got the 9cm from. The 12cm in some cases did just as good. On the compressor side I've used the large housing with small wheel that is most often what was used on the step vans or the early nonintercooled 5.9 dodge.
