question about the turbos of dodge/cummings trucks

i was looking at my friend's truck a couple of days ago , he have a 2004 dodge ram 2500 with the cummings diesel and i saw how big is the turbo but the exhaust housing is kinda small, almost as big as my turbo II one, i was wondering if somebody have tried to put one of those turbo on a 13B or SP 13B before? thanks

Yep, it's been done by a lot of people! Gotta get the appropriate exhaust housing though

On a boinger, roughly 400-425hp at about 16psi.

Definitely need the correct hotside, though. There was ONE year that had a free-floating turbo setup, I think '91 or '92. Free floating meaning there is no wastegate used, and it uses a large exhaust side to limit boost. The free loating turbo is the HX35, the wastegated model is the HX35W.

There are also HX30's and another one (H1C?) used on the baby Cummins. Holset's website has some rough compressor maps. They look kinda narrow compared to some T04 compressors. One guy who put an HX35W on his 2.3 Mustang reported that it was basically surging and creating no boost until a certain RPM, then WHAM up past 25psi. Turbine side too small even for a boinger
