It says holset on the front

Doesnt seem to be an hx35... center section and exhaust housing are weird.

I'd say HX40 before HX35. There isn't a tag on it? How about the wastegate, or is it MIA?

Tag is painted over and the gate is mia

I'm thinking brice was right last night in chat, thats a semi turbo. but it does not look like any hx40 or hx35 I've ever seen. I have circle a couple things in the pic to explain myself a tad.

First off, the red, I did some more research since chat last night, I think brice is right, thats a direct internal waste gate housing. Not found on a stock 98.5 24 valve hx35. or any of the hx35s I've seen.

The Blue. look close at how the bearing house actually bolts to the exhaust housing. Its got a built in flange that bolts the two together. On a standard Hx35 or hx 40, there is no flange(ill get pics of both here in a minute.) Normally on a hx35 or hx40, there will be 2 pieces of steel that hold the two together.(pics to come)

The Green. If this was an hx35 that the gentleman told you originally came on the truck, he'd be wrong. 1 reason is the exhaust outlet. on 98.5 24 valve there is not v-band that bolts the down pipe directly to the exhaust housing. 2nd, to be a true hx40, it would have a 4 in not a 3 inch outlet. Could this be some type of hybrid, possibly. I'm going to go out and get some pics of the hx40 I have laying around and the hx35s for comparrison.

Simply put that is not a standard hx35...

as promised here are some pics of the parts i question:

the first is the 2 pieces of metal that normally hold the turbo together, the one on cody's truck does not have these.

The next pic is of a hx35 bearing housing aka center section. notice there is no flange to bolt to the exhaust housing as the one in cody's has.

The next is of a true holset made HX40 bearing housing, notice they are identical to the hx35 as they use the exact same part numbered housing.

The next 1 is from an hx35 exhaust housing, this is off a a 98.5 24 valve. It is striped but notice tthat it is smooth and no blocks like on codys.

The next is the hx40 14cm housing. looks identical to the hx35 one just slightly larger. again, smooth and no blocks like on cody's.

next is of a he351, not mine, found on google, again not whats on cody's

conclusion, the turbo on cody's truck is holset, but its not a hx35 or hx40. I don't actually know what it is but I'll go through the factory holset manuals I have again and see what I can find out for you cody
