Nice video man thts scary wat can happen

 

Big thing I noticed about the knock offs is they're made for cars - who'd want an HX40 with a 3" exhaust ???
And I think the turbine is only 57 or 58 mm.

 

ya thts not a tru hx40 for sure dont buy it

 

doh! i'll delete my duplicate post since apparently it took me a few more min to type. good job TRKenvy

 

i have a real hx40 hybrid and it was 350 bucks after i traded my core from my local diesel shop and i love it i am going to add some injecctors to loose a little lag but top end is nuts you should be able to buy a real holset hx40 for under 700 bucks before core

 

WOW Thank you guys I had no Idea there were counterfeit turbos even out there.

I will go back to the junk yards and keep searching and learning. maybe a hx35 12cm2 with the 4 inch pipes for now.

thanks for the help you all are very helpful.

 

just watched that video.....glad a bought genuine cummins parts for my turbo!!!!

 

every turbo i own i bought off ebay. as long as it has a factory holset markings u know its original. and as far as spinning it, a little fuel from the pump screws and itll be awesome.

 

just because they are marked as a brand name you really have no idea what is in it unless you know where and who u got it from

 

wrong, plenty of stock 40's with T# flanges.

If its on EBAY there is a good chance its a knock off.
