Well just to update after a while...

I'm currently gutting all the moving parts to go into my '88 wrangler. All the way down to 1/2 ton axles and wheels, hopefully ending up with hx30/35 twins and a 5spd

Interesting twin setup. Seem awfully close in size to me is that a common 4bt config?

It seems to be more popular as more guys start to run them... It can do more boost than the stock head bolts can take and works well with a maxed VE pump.

I was going to run the hx30/6cm as a single on the dodge but never had a chance. Sounds like the spooling time is hands down faster than my h1c/12cm with nothing lost on the top end at 3200rpm

Cool is the secondary going to have a gated housing? Sounds like it will be alot of fun in a Jeep. I have an '88 YJ as well, I recently built a 4.6 stroker for it and swapped in an AX15 with it (originally had peugeot 5spd).

Yeah probably picking up wagoneer springs for a little stretch...

I wanted to keep the coils in front but after a couple death wobbles in stock dodges I couldn't bring myself to make a custom setup

And the hx30/35 combo seems to be quick spooling/cool egt setup for 250-300hp, which is plenty of torque. I want to try the stock hx35/12cm first for my low pressure and maybe even try a 16cm housing to see if helps with the compound flow

Let's hear more about that turbo. HX35? 30? Hard to gauge for a picture but I doubt you'd go bigger than a 35 on a VE 4bt.
