i am entertaining the thought of going with a new turbo setup over winter.
could i get some opinions from you fine gentlemen (and lady)
hta86
or
s366
Im also considering a holset, but i've been told they usually require some fab work.

silly to go S366 at that point

so... that may be a possibility, but my 35 has some miles and some shaft play on it and they dont offer rebuilds on turbos that they didnt sell you. so the center cartridge would remain the same, it would just have a burly *** compressor wheel and a different cover
i may send my 35series out to fp this winter to have it looked at, but im not very optimistic.
something tells me im gonna have to dish out the $ for a new snail and all the honda guys are goin ape **** for the borg s series, figured id look at something different for the evo platform

You had mentioned a Holset earlier. IIRC, those were all the rave back in the day with older DSM guys. You dont hear much of them anymore though.

^^ ya a good buddy of mine has a 1g he's building and swears by the hx40. apparently you can find them super cheap, but you most likely have to be good with a torch or know someone who can weld to use it

Because your friend bought a pile of custom junk. I know the car he bought, and i knew the guy that owned it prior. Good Luck to your friend. He will need a whole lot of it. And hopefully he doesnt get into a front end collision. Part of the front support on the front passenger side was cut to make room for that turbo.
