    holset hx35 ebay -ncts

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compressor...-/261015740121

    anyone bought one? I know these are truck scrapper sourced turbo's usually so maybe this is actually expensive by comparison. Still seems flippin cheap if it's a 600hp capable turbo.

      100% new parts, but no mention of 100% genuine Holset parts. At this price they must be cheap Chinese copies. If not, I'll give one a try!

              Never used them, just read about them;



              i recently rebuilt a holset h2a and tried finding a smaller housing for it. from what iv read the h1c/hx35 housings would work. i bought a 12cm housing for it and its way to small the wheel wont even fit in it. anyone know if 12cm represents the housing hight or the bore where the turbine wheel...


              i read that holset turbos thats used on audi I5 motors spool up quickly. how come these turbos arent used more? which holset can put me in the 400-500 hp range? anyone here have any dyno #s using a holset?

                    Well it was double the turbone... But having experienced the quality of the cheaper brands I just didn't want to risk it...

                      These are Chinese rip-offs!! Beware! Only buy from genuine Holset dealers/resellers cause these puppies will not last!
                      Clear giveaways:
                      - name tag is fake, Holset uses dot matrix printed blue logo with CNC centerpointed data, this is done by a 5 year old child with punch letters.
                      - compressor cover parting line of cast is far to big, no tower bridge shaped "h" on it.
                      - machining of anti surge inlet is way off, inner diameter is not machined on genuine part
                      - text on turbine housing is embossed & sharply embossed, far more radiused on genuine part
                      - plastic protection covers are of wrong material & colour, oil inlet cover does not even match the flange nor holes!
                      - compressor wheel nut is from different material by the looks of it.
                      - i bet that when you open it up you'll meet some pieces of copper tubing for radial bearings... some phonies even use genuine bearings to make them last a bit longer, until it makes some proper boost...
