First startup of 1999 Dodge ram with 3rd gen HE351 turbo installed and 5" exhaust

First start up of my HE351CW turbo on my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. The specs on the HE351CW are better than the HX35 I replaced. It measures 60/60/9. I also opened up my wastegate to over an inch and ported the housing a little. The compressor wheel of the HX35 is only 56mm.

I see the exhaust is free flowing now LOL! As for the long start, I realized after the fact I was sarting with only one battery. OOPS!

what size pipe did you use for the 90* turn to go to the intercooler?

@Patrick3024 3"

Curious which turbo was louder (the whistle) at idle HX35 or HE351? And which turbo is louder at full boost? I'll be doing this swap soon and I do like the whistle from the HX35 but it just doesnt flow good CFM vs HE351.

@Deepinher01 I don't have a fair comparison as I changed the exhaust when I did the turbo swap.
