I feel your pain for the manual rack boots... It took me 4 hours in total to put both sides on

You would even be able to empty a fully built 11mm pump with that turbo, so just go ahead and do it
More boost gives a higher AFR ratio and lower EGT so more boost can actually be a good thing
Is the HE200WG the same as the HE211? Honestly as fast as this one I have spools I wouldn't be afraid of a larger turbo for this IDI and sticking the one I have on the TDI...The biggest feature I like is the ported shroud, does the 200 have that? For that matter I know you can buy billet wheels for 100.00 or so, could the 200 be made into the 221w?
HE200WG does not have a ported shroud and it will not surge so one is not needed. If surge isn't an issue compressor efficiency will be higher without it so it is actually better to not have it.
