partner in crime of hijacking thread.... Is there any production turbo (aka not froma turbo shop) that compares to an hx35? id love to run the HX ...pretty cheap and easy to find, all im not looking forward to is the lag time. And how much more differnce is there between 20psi on a holset vr a stock garret? i mean i can the pumping abilites weigh heavy on the hx at WOT but a constant 20psi is 20 psi ...or atleast thats my thoughts. Im not an exspert, just trying to understand how 20 vrs 20 is not close to being the same.
I'd think that the t3 would spool faster , boost sooner, but be a little more sloppy with heat exchange, but a good intercooler and cool engine would even that up.
The hx35 has a little more lag time before boost, and yes it would be very effienct @20 psi, thats like cake work for it....but what is the point of having a turbo that can pump 30psi into your motor (halfway effeicnt) if your motor wont take it? Im not trying too rip on the idea, just trying to convincemyself that the t3 will satisfy me for a little while
(taking a semester off)
The HY35 from the automatic Cummins Dodge's will spool a bit faster. The bigger the power potential/physical size of the turbo the more lag there is. Get used to that fact, there is no way around it. How often do people honestly try to "race" at 3 grand anyway? 
That's some good stuff! I like the "stock list", makes me laugh - a lot of people going slower, but spending more, will not enjoy reading that. I know I'm guilty. I think of the receipts in my file and do this:
