The Hx35 turbine wheel does not flow as much as the Hx40 so it would require more of a wastegate passage.

Some creap. Mine didn't. Even with no exhaust. If it does you'll wish you had it off. Although if you're planning on running a 38mm gate. It would be a waste to port more than that. Radiusing the entry of a 38mm hole in the housing is all that you should need to do.
Just ordered my HX40, in the mail. So which is the better route for a DD car, the BEP .55 mitsu housing, or the T3. Looking for at least 400-450 ponies, more after this car turns into a track or road race or time attack car.

Looks like someone has been poking around diesel forums a bit. The diesel guys seem to be popping these hx52's quite often.... they claim they are a very "unreliable" turbo and you should be going with turbos with better exhaust housings (for diesels). Leaves more for us at least , yay!
I am going to be picking up a 52pro here soon, going to be doing a mid 800whp 2jz next month.
DSMLink was estimating 470hp on my hx-40 car at 25psi on the Mitsu .55 housing.
I am going to be picking up a 52pro...
And do you feel that your car had more it could do. Any drop in boost at all? I have 280 cams, q45, magnus race manifold, 3 inch cold side from intercooler, race porting from Wes Hess (may he RIP, also the last head he did), built 2.0 block. This car is stout. I want to run this car to at least 8200-8500 rpms. I dont want the turbo to not perform in the upper ranges, and leave me hanging.

Where are you finding these HX52s?
I know it may be kinda anal but my hx52 has very slight play in it. Too much for my likings as I plan on running 45psi so I picked up a rebuild kit from goldfarb today. I'm just gonna have garden state diesel rebuild it so it's perfect and I know it's good to go. Anyone looking for good rebuild kits should hit them up they only charged me 75 shipped for it.
The car def had more in it, I simply blew the hg and put it away for the time being. I'm also rockin 280 cams and revvin to 8500. Car really comes alive at 4500 and never stops pulling. Don't let the small bolton housing mislead you. While the car was running it most def. had my "sig" HX-35 car beat hands down. Blowing the tires off from a roll in AWD is pretty amazing....
So, you are saying that, the HX40 with the dsm housing will take you into the 10's?

A E3 16g will make comparable numbers with much better spool.
What gives?
437/384? Dyno'd?
Cams? Pump?
Shoot me a PM to keep from cluttering up the thread.
I was making about 437/384 when the bottom end let go.
