bwhite, like myself is running an HX52. So you cannot compare that to your little HX35.

Dave ran this housing with a 7-blade HX35 identical to yours on a whooped-up stock 6-bolt a few seasons ago and went 11.60 @ 121 with boost in the mid-20's. Full boost was around 4500, so it was probably as laggy as a HX40 in a bolt-on housing. Keep in mind the engine was very, very tired.There is also a .70AR housing available but finding information on it is proving difficult after searches. If this housing(when mated to a proper t3 manifold) can produce full spool by 3500-4k rpm and not fall on its face up top it may be an option. Seeing as it is quite larger I am afraid that it may not spool until 5K+ RPM....which is a nono.
Not really sure- I've never had personal experience with this setup.-So how hard is the bolt on .55AR BEP housing going to fall on its face later in the rpm's?
Probably 55 lb/min at the very best...although this housing and turbo combo has trapped 130mph.-- will I only see ~55lb/min flow or drastically lower?
Again, no personal experience....but with oversized a/r housings the boost generally comes on very slow.-If I do use the non-divided manifold on the divided twin scroll housing, will the power come closer to 5K rpm gradually, or lag up until then and hit like a drop kick in the back?
Since my turbo had thrust play, shouldnt my thrust plate/collar be in pretty bad shape? What else could cause the play? During disassemble process i kept pulling the shaft in and out to see if i could locate the culprit and noticed the collar in the oil shield to be moving in and out as i did this. I dont know if this would be normal or could this be the cause?
Did you ever figure out what turbo I posted up was?
It's a ball bearing 30R Garrett, not a 20G. Don't let the compressor cover fool you.I was contacted by the guy with the 20g today.It's a mits compressor housing, with a Garrett BB center section.
Not sure if there a mits turbine and compresser wheel.
But I was very shocked to find out it's a BB hybrid mits 20g.So you get 20g flow and the spool of a smaller turbo, being it's BB.
Being BB, I backed out of getting it.Although it sounded very interesting.
Journal bearing GT40 from a Navistar DT466E diesel. Probably not the best choice for a responsive low-boost setup on a 2.5.
