Sounds like it should work just fine

My housing came today! It only took two days. Here's a pic of it bolted up. I still want to figure out what fittings are needed to check the oil pressure. I have b-shafts and os. Also it seems like everyone is going with -12an fittings, are these big enough for the drain?
Long story short, I'm random as hell and my buddy and I made bet saying that I couldnt get 400 WHP out of the FP Green that I have. Well I think I can, so I bolted up the Green, no more need for the Holset so maybe somebody can get some use out of it. It'd just collect dust with me and money wouldnt collect as much dust.
I'll try to get my classidieds post tonight with a bunch of pics. Keep boostin guys!
This never ceases to amaze me. I could literally count on one hand how many Holsets I've rebuilt because they had in/out play....most of the time it's always up/down play, which is understandable. These turbos have AMAZING thrust systems!Amazed that the thrust bearing had NO wear whatsoever and only a small amount of up and down. Same condition thrust bearing in another 180k mile one, too.

Gathering up some materials to make a twin scroll mani to utilize the stock housing. Really itching to get started... Many track runs and dyno pulls are promised once it's on. Still saving up yet for a 38mm tial, head flange, twin scroll t3 flange and some weld els then I can get to mocking everything.
Nearly double the flow potential of a 14b
Matt, don't forget to fab a divider all the way to the gate flange and seal it against the gate valve. I'm just running two gates for the ease of construction.
Compressor Housing: "Fully Ported" Holset HX Series with 4" (102.6mm) Inlet and 2.5" (63.5mm) Regular Hose Outlet.
Compressor Wheel: "High Efficiency" 7- Bladed Wheel with 2.365" (60mm) Inducer "Small side" and 3.387" (86mm) Exducer "Large side".
Turbine Housing: Holset 12cm^ Housing with standard T3 "Divided" Inlet and 2.5" V-Band Outlet.
Turbine Wheel: "High Flow" Wheel with 2.360" (59.9mm) Exducer "Small side" and 2.755" (70mm) Inducer "Large side".
Definitely has a HX35 turbine. I don't think there are any HX40 turbine housings as small as 12cm.
I have had both. I'm currently on a HX35 now. Going to swap back to the hybrid here in the next few weeks. I can tell the difference on the spool up on the HX35 vs hybrid HX40/35 the HX35 is more linear to me. As to where the hybrid just smacks u back in the seat. The hybrid hits harder in my opinion. Waiting for new clutch disk to come in and will post some logs with both turbos. When I make the swap back to the hybrid. Which should be soon. Sent the turbo to Justin should have it back soon.. By the way if anyone needs a turbo rebuild.. Justin is the man to call. Great Customer Service and fair prices..

I too, need to get a oil pressue/fuel presure guage to measure the oil pressure at the turbo. My big question is how are you going to measure it? All you can do is check pressure at idle and then free rev it unless you had access to a dyno??? I'm guessing it would be a trip to home depot checking fittings in the plumbing section for a while.
I just got done bolting up my hx35 and turned it on no smoke or anything. I also just have an elbow pointing down for exhaust right now sounds mean. I love how it keeps spinning for at least ten seconds after shutting off the motor. Hopefully its not too laggy.
1) Is the "fitting nut thing connected to the water pipe" that you're referring to the one that sits directly behind the compressor housing of the HX35 when you mount it? If so, i had to remove the stock 14b water line from it, plug it with the large bolt i bought from extremepsi.com: EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Water Pipe Bolt Plug : Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99 Turbo and then remove the bolt that holds the water pipe bracket to the block, hog/egg out the bolt hole on the bracket so that i could lower or raise the water pipe a bit, and then angle the bottom of the water pipe towards the block more as the area where the bolt is installed hits the compressor.Well. I'm in the process of installing my holset. Been running into some problems. This is on a 92 tsi awd.
First. The water lines. I know you have to dent the water pipe. My problem is the fitting nut thing that conneted to the stock turbo water line. Well this fitting thing gets on the way and won't allow me to fit the turbo correctly. I already grinded this thing and its still on the way. Are you guys completely removing this fitting water line connetor? If so, then how are you plugging the hole that the fitting left.
Second question. For those that still have the stock water based oil cooler. How are you routing the water line that goes along the block behind the turbo?
My third question is: For those that have the FP race manifold. How are you guys torquing down the nuts? (Manifold to head studs/nuts)??. It seems that there is no way on using a torque wrench for those nuts. Maybe the bottom ones but not the top 4 nuts. It seems like you can only use an open box wrench for these. Or am I wrong? If so, then how are you guys going about in torquing the manifold nuts??
Thanks.
Save yourself the big headache and get rid of it all go to the junkyard and get a nonturbo water pipe and thermostat housing no plugging up anything and looks a lot cleaner.Well. I'm in the process of installing my holset. Been running into some problems. This is on a 92 tsi awd.
