hey i got a turbo from a guy where i live for an awesome deal, i was just wondering if they are as bad as ive heard? is a holset hx40 with about 3000 miles on it, no shaft play and spins very nicely. i already have the downpipe for it also so thats not an issue just curious what you guys thought about them?

 

Alot of it depends on the goal you have for the truck.

 

well for now just want a little more power, not to go out and get as much on the dyno as possible but to be able to beat the little ricers driving around , sooner or latter i plan on a twin kit but thats further down the road and will buy both turbos when doing the kit, i was just wondering if this would give me a little more power for now or should i just sell it and save my pennies for something else

 

id like to own a hx 40 let me know if ya wanna sell thanks

 

i will definitely let you know if i decide to, if i cant get any info on here maybe i will just throw it on and give it a shot, the worst that can happen is that i don't like it and put the 35 back on

somebody out there has to have some insight on the hx40 im sure

 

well it depends on the spec of the HX40 because there are many different variations. what did it come off of????

 

not too sure what it came off of, but it has the 14cm exhaust housing, not too sure of the dimensions but it has a eight blade compressor wheel if that helps, all i know is he bought it new and ran it on his cummins but didn't like the way it spooled on a stock truck and said that mine with the adrenaline and comp tune would work fine, he practically gave it to me because of a favor he owed me so i couldn't say no.

 

well the HX40 only came with 16cm or 18cm exhaust housings. does it have a T3 or T4 flange.....

 

it must have the 16cm, he said it was the smallest that they can come with t3 flange

 

ok then i has the 16cm housing. throw some 150s in the mix and you will be right at 450hp. you got yourself a good deal. does it have a holset tag on it.....
