These any good for a small block chevy? Im looking at a unit from a 5.9 dodge cummings, I think its a holset "hx35".......will this do anything for a V8?

Seeing that the motors are ~5.9L, I don't see how it couldn't be some benefit, but I don't know what potential they have being an OE unit.

are you looking to do twins or single if you are doing a single the hx35 is way to small they are only good for 500 hp on a 4 cylinder i am looking at a hx55 or holset ht60 for a single setup if you want more info on the hx35 or hx40 here is a good link http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/145691-holset-turbos.html i hope this helps you

what motor are you running after doing some research i will be running the holset ht60 on a 350 they reach full boost by 4500 rpm and if you are on a bugdet like me i think it will work good for you. Here is a video of a camaro with a 358 and a ht60.

chevy 6.0. Looking online, If I spend 250 on a used diesel I might as well spend 550 and get a mp70

ya i have heard that they are pretty good to that is what im going to run on my pontiac 455 that i am building but i will be going twin mp70's on that one

after thinking, my exhaust manifolds fit if i flip them back towards the front, so i might as well do twin turbos, a smaller t3 flange will be easy to mount on each side, then i found on rebay intercoolers that had side inlets and exit straight out the top so i can go straight into the throttle body. honestly i think 2 will be easier than 1.

yai have it is deff easier to run the exhaust with twins. I have read that guys are using fox body header's with ls motor's they just cut the flange of that bolt to the head and weld the ls flange on not shore if this works but it might be some thing to look into also.

going to use these shorty headers, both sides fit this way
