Re: Opinions on the Holset HX40 Turbo

No. Do you work for FP? I'm eliminating my BEP turbine housing this season for a divided runner manifold with the stock holset turbine housing. I would like to see what it does. So far I'm happy that the turbo has done what a 20g can do. I'd like to see how much more flow per psi I can extract. . .

I just don't see the relevance when comparing a Holset to a BW simply because one company makes aftermarket housings for both.
OK ??? So you're getting it. I'm using the same attachment to BW. But we don't look down on BW do we, though the attachment is the same, correct?

I'm saying Holset, BW and garrett are the same thing: turbo brands sold by a vendor that had poor success with garrett turbos. ???

WTF would you all do if BEP started selling gt turbos? Regardless, the hx40 spools as fast as the gt3076r and has at least 100whp more potential. The hx40 spools faster than the gt35r and flows at least the same perhaps a little more. BEP or not.

I just don't want to see this sh!t abotu holsets are "bad seads" because they are BEP turbos. BEP can be lousy or not. That doesn't affect the performance of BW turbos, Holset turbos, or Garrett turbos. Their housings may clamp up one turbine wheel but what does that have to do with another? Different aerodynamic tech is involved. But I CAN see someone avoiding holset turbos because they want a bolt on and the only option is the bep turbine housing and after hearing the first part of this thread I wouldn't blame them. But as I mentioned, the information was by guys that don't really know anything about holset turbos in bep housings. . .
