Guys, I need help selecting a turbo for my Iroc R/T. I was looking into a Holset hx or hy 35 but are there any other good turbos available that might work from maybe a GM turbo diesel or Ford Powerstroke? I'm looking for something as cheap as an ebay Holset (about $300) that would be good for my vehicle.
I plan on getting a ported and coated exhaust manifold and a stage IV cal from FWD. I already have a Cummins IC, +40's, and 3" exhaust that I will install when I get the cal. THNX.
tight budget for a turbo. if you can find a cheap hx40/35 go for it. monitor the for sale forums here and on td.com and you may luck out on something needing a rebuild or one of the 50/57 trim turbos.
Will a FWD staged cal support this big of a turbo? It is calibrated for a stocker but I was hoping it would handle the same boost level (18-20psi).
BTW, I had a 50 Trim stg III but had to sell it since my wife had not been working for six months. Now, I'm looking for bang for the buck.
If your looking for cheap, get one of those $180 jobs on Ebay, Stage III turbines, 57 compressor trim, T3/T4. You will have to make up your own DP assembly as you can't reuse the stock TIII turbo stuff. They apparently do work and for the price, you can't go wrong.

I won't go that route! I know others have done the Holset and was wondering if other manufacturers had something that would work too.
