Default Holset HX40

out of curosity has anyone tried one of these with a ST kit, ie APS/Turbonectis,BP kit??? if so what Hotside did you go with and how where you able to get good clearance for the downpipe as these turbos usually have huge downpipes 4" -5" thanks

You will have to run a t4 turbine inlet with a 3" vband outlet. The downpipe will be 3".

That's if you want it to fit on a BP kit. You can make it fit to anything you want but i suggest making sure it is only a 3" turbine outlet.

I ran it on a custom mid mount turbo, not sure which AR coz it rusted off, It spooled fairly quick and made decent power 415WHP @9psi on DD.

where did you read that it comes with 5" DP? my HX40 and my H1C both have a 5 bolt outlet, you can get the 3" vband flange that hooks up with the 5bolt outlet. You dont use the internal WG and it should be welded shut. i guess the OEM DP could be 5" but thats if you use the internal wastegate. I'm not sure if it would fit in the APS location since the compressor housing is bigger than my 6766. it fits in the BP location tho.

picks for reference and comparison
mounted

compared to T4 6766
