Opinions on the Holset HX40 Turbo

[wheelhop]

Of course the credit goes to BW. Of course they don't use a BEP housing. Same with the V-trim. "Credit" goes to garrett. Who has drastically improved with the gt line. . .

Of course the BEP housing works well with the hx35. Of course the BEP housing works well with the hx40.

Again,

I should have said that apparently Brent Rau sees eye to eye with BEP on turbos.

BEP knows turbos well. And you don't have to buy their turbine housing. Earlier in this thread, holset was looked down on because BEP was attached to holsets on DSMs. Isn't the point clear? A turbine housing may do poorly with one turbine wheel and do well with another. Is that more clear? I got my holset from ebay from a cummins guy upgrading his truck. I guess that makes my turbo better than buying it from BEP. Can't complain about the turbine housing, because my turbo spools as fast as the 16g that was installed before and flows 3-4lb/min more at the same boost through out the rev range. Hol-sex

To me it appears you are attaching BEP to BW in the same manner.

I just don't see the relevance when comparing a Holset to a BW simply because one company makes aftermarket housings for both.
