Re: Opinions on the Holset HX40 Turbo

No $280 maybe, not $380. . . See here. $630 ($350 hx35 + $280 bep housing w/internal gate) is $250 less. You can get an external gate o2 housing and TiAL external gate save $50 from not using an internal gated BEP housing and pay $1030 total! External setup that bolts on like an internally gated 20g turbo to your current exhaust system. . .

Why are you looking at the bolton hx35 when you're also looking at the fp3065 ? They are different frame sizes. The hx40 can be had in bolton form; and in that form is proven to flow as much or more and proven to spool faster. Save the $500 for a SMIM.

. . . Oh wait, you need the vband o2 housing or exhaust hookup for the FP turbo too. . . A portmatched evo3 o2 housing is fine for a bolton hx40. OR you can buy a tubular 3" with an mhi flange for far less.
