Opinions on the Holset HX40 Turbo

[95talonracer]

I am looking into getting rid of my 20g and getting a holset HX40. Has anyone ran this turbo or have any information on it? It claims to be good up to 400-600 HP or so they say.

Bullseye stuff for the lose. Just get a bolt on PTE.

Im pretty sure that Bullseye does not make Holset turbos...

Bullseye sells Holset turbos with their hotside, just like they do with Borg Warner turbos.

But hes not talking about getting a bullseye turbo he is talking about getting a Holset turbo(Turbo truck turbo)

Since he said he had a 20g and wanted to go to a Holset i ASSUMED he would be using a mitsu manifold which means he would need the Bullseye housing.

What is the bad part of this brand turbo that you have come across or dont you have any personal experience with these turbos? Just wondering.

Friend of mine had one and its just not all that great. He was running it on a 2g manifold so he had to cut the water pipe and make some sort of flexible section back there. That alone made me never want to do it. I'm sure that could be corrected with a different manifold, but i'd just get something like a pte thats been said above. I have a turbonetics 62-1 and love it.

The stock hotside on a holset is likely way too big, since it is meant for a diesel truck. That means you have to run the bullseye housing, which isn't that great.

It is all mitsu bolt on and comes with a spacer and longer hardened studs to space out the manifold so you dont have to dent the water pipe or anything like that. It bolts up to the mitsu manifold and 02 housing.
