Did you port the stock housing by any chance? The flanges that most people build exhaust manifolds with (CNC machined) do not usually match the flange on the stock housing (cast).
Example..
Turbo gasket lined up on manifold flange:You must be logged in to view this image or video.

Looks like i'll be doing some porting then, my punishment mani is here tomorrow, and im going to be running the stock 12cm nonwastegated housing as well. Is there any variation among the gaskets? I really havent messed around with t3 that much so im going to plead ignorance. I cant help but think an authentic holset metal gasket should line up perfectly with the holset hotside? At least i know what im going to be dealing with, glad someone else is running the same setup. I also had a question for you, check your PM's.Did you port the stock housing by any chance?

They don't. I've taken note when dealing with my diesel customers. It does line up better than the gasket in the example above, however.I cant help but think an authentic holset metal gasket should line up perfectly with the holset hotside?
Refrence please... i don't believe it. Not on a 2.0 without sprayThe HX40 "limit" in the BEP housings is ~680awhp... you've made that much?
I am still on the bep .55a/r housing
The bep housing I used is unported.

If I go with the HX35 in the BEP housing, what all do I have to get to run the turbo? I have the pr external wg setup already. I know that I have to get oil feed lines but don't know which ones, can I get links to where I can get them? Any fab work needed? I know the info is probably out there, but I would like to have it all in one thread so I can see what I'm up against and avoid any hidden parts that I will need so I can get a good estimate on the money I need to be ready to spend.
Another thing is will I have to change my intake pipe and will the turbo be pushed over toward the passenger side?
It is already all in one thread. You just need to search for it.

Would you like some more?
Oh and when you're done with this, I'd like it back-
Think Imma keep it.
Multiple yes, so why add another when we have 30+ that have everything in them. Even step by step.
Here's my HX35 parts list thread. Everything you need to run a HX35 in a .55 BEP housing is in there.
