Sounds like he's not using a MBC, just the wastegate arm adjustment to raise boost. This will lower spool speeds slightly. A ball and spring MBC makes the spool a bit faster.

This may be a stupid question, deserving a "search" reply...but I couldn't find anything.
Has anyone found a reputable place that rebuilds these turbos relatively cheaply? I have a 6-blade HX40 that blew on the highway last night during a pull, now it makes no boost and smokes bad.
To reply to myself, for the time being I bought a replacement.
HX40 (I *think* 6blade) billet wheel for $200 shipped.
Congrats on those numbers! I anticipate having my build wrapped up within the next three weeks and I can barely wait.
am I the only one running the BEP 38mm internal gate?
Thats actually a fairly small compressor housing
My HX-40 compressor housing required denting the waterpipe on my 7 bolt to nearly half its size. With a FP Race
However, the compressor outlet comes awkwardly close to the front motor mount, and I can already foresee clearance issues with the FP 4" Intake
I think you might be running out of fuel pump. Are you still running the stock fuel filter? Might want to replace it if it's not been replaced yet. Also might want to make sure that your FPR isn't leaking internally.
FYI I was running 32-35 PSI on a completely stock long block with the HX35 and I would run to 7500 RPMs. With 1000cc injectors on pump I would see like 65-69 IDC. When I changed over to E85 I think I was seeing like 85% IDC. That was about 400 HP at the wheels. I've just upgraded to 1650cc injectors so I shouldn't have to worry about injector for some time.
That is why I'm thinking you have a fuel supply problem.
hey man I'm running the FP 4inch intake as well with a 2G maf and a cone style filter (the big 4.5inch cone filter not the honey combs style filter). Anyways I have pop ups as well, and to make the 4 inch intake fit u really gotta play around with the lengths of the couplers, I had to cut both couplers so the intake would sit right up against the inlet lip of the turbo and I had to make it so the maf was in a similar position with the intake tube, Btw to make everything fit you have to trim down the lip off the intake tube where the maf bolts to it to get another inch or so of clearence after that it fits like a glove! good luck
Ugh, is there anyway I can tell by the Compressor cover alone (or general size) whether I have an HX40 vs. an HX35? I've been looking at pictures lately of other 8 blade HX35's and 8 Blade HX40's and they all look very similar to mine
The FP 4" intake clears with no issues on an HX40, FP race mani, and 1" spacer. You can check mine out in the results thread.
They're discussing 2g's... setup a little different
The easiest way to figure out what kind of turbo you have is by the serial numbers and/or measuring the wheels. I'm thinking its a really small hx40 variant or a hx35...

Can you put an o-ring on the new fitting to cover the recess?
