Does any one know if there are any upgrades for the variable turbo's like bigger housings or bigger impellers etc. Do any companies do upgrades?

I am planning on installing one on my truck and thought that there might be some upgrades that could be done before the install.
 
None that I know of. Bigger and smaller exhaust housing is what the Variable Geometry is all about. Vanes one way, 9 cm housing. Vanes the other way, 16 cm housing. I'm not sure you would want to go much bigger on the compressor with the 58mm drive wheel I think it carries over from the HE351cw. Possible compressor surge.
 
you can go from 3 to 26cm on the turbine side and it has a 60mm wheel on the compressor, but I dont know of any upgrades.
 
Wow, 3 to 26? That's awesome! It does have a 60mm compressor, but I'm saying if you found someone that was willing to put together a 62 or 64 compressor and housing on the front of that turbo, the 58mm turbine would be too small.
 
Industrial injection sells HE351ve turbos with stage 2 62mm compressor wheels or stage 3 64mm compressor wheels.

The exhaust wheel on the HE351ve 07.5+ is larger than the exhaust wheel on the HE351cw 04.5-07 stock turbo.

Per my measurements, the HE351ve came with a 65mm x 60mm exhaust turbine wheel.
 
Most 351ve's measure 70/60 on the hotside and II quoted me $1k for a 64mm wheel in my 451 (same as for a 351). Not sure if I want to give up my titanium wheel, nor do I think I will push my truck past the 500hp mark that the stock wheel should support...
