i ordered my hx35 and boost and egt gauges today what temps and psi shoud i see out of this turbo my timing is bumped 1/2 inch smoke screw all the way down denny t stage 2 fuel pin no spring or nylon washer are my only mods o its a 5 speed truck if that makes a diffrance thank for reading this long post

 

man idk what you should turn probably about 1250 if your pumps turned up i know with everything i have in my sig i usualy dont get over 1100 with my hx35 my truck stays pretty cool butt if i wanna get on it i can see 1300 to 1400 butt thats wot going down the free way keep in mind these temps im giving you are pre turbo not post!!! and i have a banks big head wastegate on mine set to 30 psi you could prolly hit higher butt without head bolts or studs i would limmit it to about 25 or 30 because replacing a head gasket sucks hope this helped

 

i wired my waste gate shut today and cant get over ten psi with my mods what am i doing wrong i was getting better with my stock turbo

 

check for boost leaks

 

i think i got a bad turbo went back to my stock turbo runs 10 times better than the hx35 man this is just wrong making 17 on the stock

 

that is weird i mage about 25 on my stock turbo butt i had a 60mm upgrade and the wastegated exhaust housing did you buy the hx35 off of ebay?

 

If you got your turbo off ebay you may have gotten one with a 50mm wheel. I almost bought one but I asked the guy to measure it and it had a 52mm wheel. It was an industrial turbo and some of those are weird. Also make sure you didnt lose the oring that goes between the turbo and intercooler pipe. That would cause a major leak.

 

yeah some of those ebay turbos are knock offs from china

 

Mine is not a fake but it has a 50 mm wheel it might go back to ebay if I cant find a way to make it boost im open to ideas
Thanks

 

Sounds like your gate is leaking to me.
