Still running the 35? What do you have max boost set to?

So what's wrong with the hx35? No pics or video after install? The hx40 is good if you tow a lot.

Should whistle pretty good. I don't see why not. Didn't make much of a difference for me but you could remove the silencer ring. Mine whistled like no tomorrow with and without though. Also, I wasn't running a muffler. The whistle was pretty audible at the tail pipe while idleing too.

Yes! I found it. Page 2. http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/how-do-i-run-the-stock-wastegate-on-the-hx35w-on-my-6-5.41444/page-2

I think his turbo is different. It's the style that mounts to the braket that is molded to the compressor housing. The holes on your turbo that are used for the waste gate are most likely not on his turbo. I'll have to see if I can find the thread with the custom waste gate actuator braket and...

Check out "6.5l" threads, he installed wmi on hi db2 6.5

Good news. Now to make it better, throw a 3 bar map sensor on the manifold in place of the stock 2 bar map. Your defueling will be gone and no more limp mode. Check around the site for a waste gate actuator braket. Not long ago another member put on an hx35 like yours and had to make a custom...

For raceday's kits he doesn't use a 90 degree elbow but something tighter. Can't remember now but i think he starts off with maybe 120 degree bend?

The current catch can has no oil residue at all?

The larger turbine housings work well with the lower gearing and the smaller turbine housings work well with taller gearing. I was running the hx40wII, which means it was the 14cm housing. I had 4.10 gears, dam that thing spooled fast.

So how long is it gonna be before it's ready?!

That's odd there's no whistle, I had the hx40wII and that thing whistled like no tomorrow with and withouth the silenser ring. You could clearly hear at the tail pipe while motor idles

Use that IP money for upgraded lines, you won't regret it. Those upgraded fuel mods won't mean anything if one of those lines blow while driving down the road. Sorry to sound like a broken record but these stupid lines have killed many 6.5s

For the sake of yout beautiful 6.5 please don't use oem style replacements. They are known to fail even when new, the clips that hold them in are a joke.

Just found this build thread Tanner. Sounds like your on the right track and have a great start. By the way, did you answer my last pm about your address? Good luck with the project, can't wait to hear more.

Wow, absolutely amazing! I'm glad I came across this thread. Good call going 5 speed! What gears will you be running out back?

How about an older holset. They have some non gated turbos that I bet will whistle like a gated holset.

Very awesome and impressive with a 5 speed! I can't imagine his truck ways much over 6000lbs

That looks neat. How well does it work so far?

Yes please do post pics. If you sai it's marked from Great Britain, it's possible that it's a true holset as they are out of England last I heard. 18cm is a bit in the big side. If you have low gears that will help spool it up. A custom will be a must.
