I used the factory mls gaskets and some copper spray. Worked great.

The spacer plate is your friend! I used a 1/2 spacer from RRE with longer studs and had ZERO clearance issues with the compressor housing, block, and water pipe. Granted it only left with with about 1/4" clearance it worked well. Pictures can be found in the results thread.
For the record, who here has gotten a 12cm hx35 compressor housing wihta bolt on exhaust housing to fit without a spacer? I don't mind denting the water pipe, I hate using a spacer though and will avoid it at all costs.
Also can someone tell me the outlet size of the turbo, I am going to t-bolt clamp it and need to make sure my end is big enough to slip over the outlet of the turbo.
I would rather slip my coupler ,which is 2.5 inches, over that lip and clamp it down with a good t bolt clamp. Just wanted to make sure it was the right size before I took the car to the garage where it is a good 2 hours from home and it would suck to be held back by a coupler.
I have about $500.00 for my HX40 (200.00 turbo and 3?? for the BEP kit) but I did not go ext. wastegate so yeah I would say your pretty close. Does anyone still have the BEP housings or was that just on the 35's? Oh I just checked your profile you'll need bigger injectors
I also see your going from a 16g to a HX40 just like I did and man what a diff.
Well I did get it to fit and this is the only picture I took while it was there. Compressor wheel measures at 58mm with the cover measuring at 7 3/4. It clears the block at the upper part of the cover but it still hits the block where I have it there, just lower on the compressor cover.

Yea Im looking for some cheap 650s, I got screwed and didnt have an eprom ecu in my car or I would get 750s and a chip. i Believe Tims turbos has housings.
My dreams are ruined I can not find an evo or evo gt manifold used for the right price, everyone wants like 120, and I think my 2g would be a restriction so

It slid into the housing fairly easy.
There's a slight lip of the CHRA still sticking out the housing (i.e its not flush with the housing).
I can tighten all the bolts down and it still doesn't help any..
I finally got a hold of him and he said I may have a bigger wheel?? Never heard of that?
Did some HX40's have bigger exhaust wheels?
