Saw it repeatedly in diesel forums. . . And mentioned by the guys who sell them to their diesel community.

Control boost. Or simply control throttle. No "blowing tires". Or get rubber. The hit with even a bolton hx35 is a bit more gradual than an evo3 16g. It's not an on/off switch.
I understand it is not an on/off switch. I guess what I was referring to was that the power curve of say...a 20g which is more linear would be more suited to my application. I guess I could have worded it differently. From what I have heard and read about on all the threads about the HX35 it comes on quick. I realize that the smaller turbo's will spool faster but it will not be at the same HP as a HX35. I could be wrong all together though. It has been known to happen from time to time , Hence the reason I am here

That has no relation to holset reliability (The theme of the thread). Nor, infact, is that question related to Holsets at all. You can start a thread. But the answer to your question lies in a simple search.
Well my bad. Since we were on the "off-topic" of 20g's I thought it was an appropriate question. However, my actual build I am going to run a holset and I have read a ton about them to get as much info as I can. And this thread has arouse a question and its probly staring me right in the face and I havent noticed, but what is this "S" cover that this tsi 8urV8 is talking about in post #31?
135* angles.... not 45. 45 is acute, 135 obtuse. XD
Well I killed it, as of 10/23/11 my hx40 has been dead. BUT IT WASNT THE TURBOS FAULT, MY 1YR OLD OEM TIAL WASTEGATE GOT A TEAR IN THE DIAPRAGM AND BOOST MAXED OUT MY OMNI 4 BAR BY 3700RPM, THATS 45PSI PLUS!!!! Well needless to say the shaft snapped at the turbine wheel and my car was smoking like a mofo. Drove it home and ripped it apart to find the turbine wheel broken. lost 3pi of oil pressure at idle but i think that was due to the turbine wheel being broken and the oil pouring into the exhaust, really hope i didnt hurt the motor, Did a compression test and all was fine. Anyway, I got in touch with Justin and he pulled some strings and got me a new hx40w billet 7blade. Since I wrecked the turbine housing I decided to go with the bep t3 with an erl manifold, might as well make it faster while I got it apart Thanx again Justin. Also the front bearing and thrust bearing looked great, along with the compressor side of the shaft bearing surface. The turbine side had oil baked on it due to being exposed to the exhaust. Heres the log, 45psi plus by 3700rpm
