so i have been lookin around for a new turbo for my truck and this may be a really dumb question but would a hx55 be to big to run on my truck i have heard it should bolt up but as opposed to my stock hx35 would this be way to big to run with what is in my sig, i can get it a at reasonably cheap price so if anyone has some insite on weather or not this would work it could end up being a pretty good deal for me let me know what you guys think


thanks
chris

 

Come on guys I really don't know much about turbos idk if I can use this with my stocker and make a nice twin set up just a idea I really want to change the turbo or enhance it so to speak so please help me guys.

 

Too big to run on a daily driver.

It won't just bolt up, the exhaust inlet and outlet are different, the discharge flange is different, etc.

The only holset turbo's that bolt up easily are HX40's, and He341 and He351cw although you have to modify your charge air pipe to the charge air cooler since the turbo's outlet is in a different location and different connection type (hose type vs v-band).

 

to big but it will make a great bottom on a twins set

 

so what would u reccomend to run it with on a twin setup?

 

my son runs a hx35 on top his set up makes 60 psi boost and egts stay way cool at 400+ HP works great for towing

 

So it would be great to run with on my stocker? How hard is it to run twins I havent done it before? This really sounds like something I am gonna do been lookin to do twins

 

patience grasshopper. Give somebody longer than 32 to respond to your post. Try using the search feature. It's a wonderful option!

 

Rebel how does he like it and how bad was it to make it work?

 

Pair up your stock HX35 with an S400 for a good set of towing twins. Dont go the HX55 for what you have on the truck. Combo I recommended will be more responsive.

 

Well honestly I don't really tow very often, I want a good set of twins and use my stocker but I don't want to pay a arm and a leg I can get the hx55 for around 450. So what would u recommend instead?

 

You can get a S400 for not much
More and would be better in the twin set
