im very happy with the 40 i just wanted to kno if there was something better. wanted to get info on the bg 362&366 extd tips to how they compare vs the hx40. I understand about getting a tune and seeing a better spool and powerband out of the car. Belive it or not as the way the car sits now im happy with it even w/o the tune . I can't imagine how it's going to be tuned.
I agree with dsm-onster. You should just get that hx35 on the car as cheap as possible since you already have it.
I run a e316g and its completely maxed. I see 38lb/min at my altitude and dsmlink estimates 430lb/tq and 410hp. Thats what I love about the turbo is it has so much tq down low and hits real hard. I get lots of tq steer into second.
What I hate about the turbo is the power hits 400hp around 5800rpms and drops over 100hp by 6500rpms. I know cams would help a lot but the turbo just doesnt have much up top. If power was all the way to 7k I would be happy. But its not, so I will be upgrading to a hx40 here soon. I want to break 50lb min with the bolt on housing and I dont think the hx35 will do it for me.

Is there a bolton gt35r out there? Don't all the bolton FP chargers use the little gt30 turbine wheel?
You can get the scm6152 with the gt35r compressor wheel and the old scuel t350 turbine wheel that fp likes, but the bolton housing is pretty much a terrible waste of a casting process. The lousy flow is very apparent. . . There's the 6169. Still just a gt35r compressor wheel. But with a non-gt335r turbine wheel that's a little better than the t350 wheel. That shows some potential, but again you choke that potential away with their bolton housing.
I've yet to see a bolton turbo make more power than the bolton a/r (.55 bep) hx40. Although I wouldn't doubt a .55 a/r s362 or s366 could possibly do similar. Same or better flowing compressor same high boost potential and wide lowboost capable map. Big turbine wheel that seams to spool very well for what it should be able to flow.
. . .But you can't get those particular BW turbos with a bolton flange according to the Bullseye website. . .
I Need Help Finding A Hx40 Turbo
Youll need engine management, fuel mods, intake, exhaust, built driveline, etc to get 450-550, if you put a huge turbo on first youre going to break something.
I dont really know how turbos work completely i just know they make my car go fast....so um which turbo should i buy to get the best Horsepower gains and also should i get my turbo b4 i get other things because i have a turbo just a really small stock one? I plan to put around 450-550 HP in car
