My 52 is a billet wheel as well. And if you plan on getting one, let me know because I know a place where you can get them new for $220. As well as all the other Holset models.That's pretty bad assI have a line on hx 50 and a hx52 thinking i might pick one up and try and run with the big dogs. I know the hx40 will do 700whp but the car is not gonna be a street car really so lag isn't a factor especially since I"m not afraid to spray and a stroker is the gameplan.


I knwo I am a setup flake but that's why I need to sell the 2gnt it's just a distraction. I see parts that are a steal and I hop on them. I finished the 420a I just didn't boost it. Lost cause the most hp I have seen people make without poping trans is like 440whp. WHy run a hx40 on a car with a 440whp limit before you have to mess with the trans. Not to mention the shop wanted 1200 to put a 8 point cage in my eclipse I picked up my 1g tsi awd with 4 bolt rear and 10 POINT cage for 1100. I think that's a no brainer
. Or buy that turbo you mentioned and then buy just a housing.
. Just get a good condition HX40 and then worry about the hotside later. You can buy some junk beat up turbo with shot bearings for like a 100 bucs with the housing you want on it and just swap it.
