I was in the same boat as you. I already had an HX35 and a 16cm housing, but it needed a rebuild. I had a 58mm HX40 on my truck at the time.
I ended up selling the HX40 for about $375
I sold the HX35 for $100 with the stock housing, and sold the 16cm housing, but cant remember what i got for it.
Then I bought an HE351cw off craigslist for $275. Bought the piping and intercooler boots and clamps I needed all for about $60-70
So I have about $350 in a nice good spooling, and cooling turbo. The HX35 will be very similar performance, but it would have cost me about $150 more.
So, if you dont mind some fab work the HE351cw is the better option because its cheaper, and probably a little better. Plus you can run a true 4" exhaust.
That was just my view on it after some thinking about what i wanted to do.
