How about this turbo?

First, is this a good deal?

Second, will an HX-40 make more power than this turbo. It claims to be identical to a Super B, and a Super B claims to flow 61 lbs per minute = 800-825 cfm.

On a side note, a super B special is supposed to flow 80 lb per minute = 1000+ cfm. But if you run the numbers and they claim 550-625 HP to the ground, then by simple math, at the high end 625Hp/80 lb of air = 7.81 hp/lb of air so in theory, that little super B at peak could make 7.81x61 lbs air = 476.6 HP.

Now maybe the super B chokes up and that limits HP to 425, not sure.

Third, I hate turbo lag. In the winter the stock turbo is fine, but in the summer at these high altitudes, it is too slow. I want to be able to roast the tires when the turbo spools in third. Not chirp, not spin, ROAST!

Hohn, where are you? I'm sure you have researched these blowers more than me.

I have the same turbo, and my EGT's went way down. The spoolup is still scary fast. Spools kind of like the HY35 I had from stock, but way down on temps, I like mine

BD claims to make some mods to the turbine and the wastegate, but it's really hard to say without tearing both apart.

Oh and they are gated at 32psi but can be adjusted to 40psi is what they told me. I still couldnt find a way to get it on with the WG.
