Is this 1,100 Turbo Upgrade Worth It?

You will not get 400 AWHP on pump gas with a 20g... well i don't think so anyway.

Yeah you will easy, and I'm talking a 05H 20G. 400 to the wheels really isn't all that much, your only going to go 120mph or so in the quarter in the average awd car.

What is full spool on the hx35?

I was seeing 20 psi by 3500rpm, 25 by 3650, 30 psi by 3850 & 33-34 psi by 4k. 7 blade HX35 in BEP .55 bolt-on housing.

if it were my car and I was getting a bigger turbo and wanted to make 400+ I would get the hx35 and the bolt on housing.

400awhp on pump plus meth is VERY doable on the tdO5H 20g. Stick with the 20g and make it happen.

Terrible wheel/housing combination. I'd rather see a HX40 turbine wheel with a HX35 compressor....at least you'll know you aren't going to hit an airflow wall.


Plenty of good pump gas turbos out there. The HY35's been over 500 on pump gas but requires a T3 manifold and custom o2 housing....but when you only spend $250 on the turbo, it allows a lot of room for additional mods like that.

You can't think quick-spooling/big-power/pump gas. One of those three things are going to have to go in order to reach your goal. You can have a quick-spooling pump gas turbo, but it won't make big power. You can have a big-power pump gas turbo, but it won't spool fast. You can have a quick-spooling big-power turbo but you're not going to run 93. Comprendō?

My 3076 hta spools fast and makes great power on pump , downside... COST .

Yep. As long as you have a good inter-cooler you should be golden. Spray a little meth if you need to.

Like I said in a PM, I made about 400whp on an hx35 with a GARBAGE intercooler, that was way back when I knew less than I do now. If you were wanting more on pump I'd say got for the XL green.

Instead of a green, I'd look for a BEP housing for your tdo5-20g. They are around and sell for less than $200, should help the top end out a bit.

Where are you at now in terms of having a running car and making power? Maybe we can guide you on a good path to accomplishing your goals cheaply.

Pretty much I had I running car, I just decided to do a full forged rebuild with 272 kelfords and so forth while I had the extra money. I already have the 20g and its getting a fresh rebuild from Justin. I was going to sell it and go bigger, but I just might run meth/water on 25psi since I only ran it at 17psi on stock interanls and stock cams. If I'm not satisfied then I'll probably go hx35 in bep housing. I just wanted to get the turbo setup right and not have to fool with it again, but time ran out before I could make up my mind on the turbo. Since this is my dd and the motor should get shipped Monday, I need to get the car back on the road and give the loaner car back.
