One from the thread I posted: There's one with a hx35/40 (slip in his profile) and one with a hx40 (slip here)trapping 132mph with 2.0L motors.

As I mentioned the most affordable route with a holset is to get one used from the seller I posted. He can get you a holset with good wheels for a very good price. Or go to diesel forum classifieds. Then you get it rebuilt. This is far more affordable because they are rather common in the diesel world.

Or you can contact ht turbo which I linked. They may even be able to get you a holset with no turbine housing, so you can use which ever you want.

The fastest spooling option would be a t3 to mhi adapter plate and run to smaller bep housing, or ask to see if they have any t3 .55 a/r housings left. Its not like the small housing on the hx40 hasn't been proven to much over 600whp EDIT: I'd like to add that running an adapter plate will help with clearance with the water pipe since the holset typically runs a very larger compressor cover. Another reason why many feel a holset will be laggy or hasn't produced the results indicative of it's size.

The last two didn't read the thread I posted .

More from that thread. GV Autosport ran one.

Only 5 holset users on tuners has ventured to the track out of only about 10 that run them. Guys brag abotu putting them on but never actually do it. You know how that goes. Regardless, every one who has gone to the track has an 11sec time slip. 4 lower than 11.4sec. If t00ners guys can do the above, Imagine what the rest of the world can do, right?
