Holset hx35 question

[The Joker]

Ok I don't have a Dsm but I've lurked around here for a little while now. I know you guys have the most knowledge when it comes to holset turbos on gas motors and fabrication. I recently acquired a 8 blade hx35 and I need to change the wastegate setup. Do they all interchange? Here are some pictures. I really want to make the wastegate parallel to the turbo because the current setup will hit my hood if I leave it like this . This is going in my 86 dodge Omni glht.

Pm jusmx here or questions for justin he will be able to answer your question quicky, and than has more than enough information for you.

Factory wastegate on that turbo will never be enough to control boost on a gasoline application unless you're looking to make 35psi. You should be using an external gate off the manifold.

i have a banks big head adjustable wastegate on there now. i was gonna see about making a stock turbo dodge one work. i figured the banks big head would be worse than a stock cummins one. i really wanna stick with internal for money purposes.

My project 2g has a holset, had to get external one.

dang. yea ive never really messed with external wg setup before. all i know is that they are not cheap . i may look into it. figured i can run it off where the internal puck is. but if some custom hack job internal wastegate setup works im all about that .

I wouldn't say that. I run a stock internal gate on my HY with a holset actuator, and it has ROCK SOLID boost control at 19psi, maybe even less with a different actuator.

I've got this actuator I found In my shop off a mitsu turbo from an 89 lebaron turbo. I think I may try to make it work.
