Unless you're drinking. Or sober. Or horny. Or can't catch your newest GF because the sheep got shorn that day. We know, we know...... :roll:

This is why I love this site!

Levi, my good friend paid $700 for a used HX52 with the rare 16cm gated housing. Going from the S300G to this thing was night and day difference. And his smoke STILL doesn't clear up. That poor S300G made 414hp/919tq at 4x psi. The HX52 is gated at 35psi and the smoke is not as dark and spools better (IMHO) than the S300G. The G lit too quick and was spent by 2500 rpms. This one goes from 50-90 is no time while being a more linear power output with more to go above 2800rpm. He can have it fully spooled in 5th/OD by 1600rpms. 4th it is fully spooled by 1450-1500 rpms. Where as the G was lit by 1200rpms. Definitely slower spool BUT better driveability as it doesn't feel like you hit the turbo button at 1/4 throttle... :lol:

Yup, a guy from CompD texted me with a 52 off a Volvo, but it's not a "Pro"52 so I'm waiting a night to see if one pops up. it's non-gated, but my external 'gate should make that a non-issue. I figure I'll end up with it though, no use waiting around on this stuff anymore. I'm getting a little sick of it. :lol:

The "Pro"52 is an upgraded 71mm wheel for the HX52 like the GDS 60mm is for our H1C. At least from my research.

I think the Pro also has a larger shaft (heh), but it's not like I'd need that for my truck. I'm more interested in the compressor and turbine outlets, the less headaches I have there the better.

IIRC, you can get the T3-T4i adapter from cumminsperformanceparts.com and besides the exhaust, everything else should just bolt up.

The one in Ohio had been run with no filter, had a couple rounded tips on the compressor wheel. I passed and went with this fellow:

Grind that Volvo off there and I'll have one sexy turbo. 8)

Just like the real thing.

Sucks you in, making you want more after the deed is done, looks sexy as hell all polished up, and you can never get enough.

What happened to Justin? I was just reading back around page 5-9 and realized he hasn't chimed in lately. You guys were like the 3 amigos, or 3 stooges, or 2 1/2 men........ :mrgreen:
