That is a very first class looking product, and I'm sure you'll have some very satisfied customers!:thumbsup: I intend to be one.

Very nice. I did some digging around for the metric to flare fitting (nearly 2yrs ago) and one I found based on the HX35 threads I have was made by Russell #607520 14x1.5mm on one end.. Is this even close?

Its 12x1.50 but the problem is every one available is an6 and that's the 37 degree fitting, the OEM fitting is sae 45 degree and wont thread on a an fitting, I am having some made with that configuration

I Know this is off topic a bit, but I was wondering about your new pdr hx35 turbo with the banks housing. Is it better for towing than your hx40II was? Does your downpipe kit work for this also?

Not much seat of the pants towing, The kit fits hx35 and hx40II

Suscribed. Nice setup. It will cure the smoke leak at the turbo

Just a suggestion: the flange to the downpipe should seal better if a bit conical like the stock one? What do you think?

 

[uniquediesel]

Agreed, While you're doing this right. Please investigate machining the fitting that mates with the downpipe to have a similar bevel to that of the factory turbo. This way the flange will mate to the flare of the downpipe and have a better time sealing. The flat surface on the previous and upcoming design seals based on a flat seal around the other edge only. As seen from Matuva's post this leaks for him, as I suspect it does for others. Just some feedback to improve upon something that's really making these conversions much easier.

I have all the parts to build the prototype and jig for the HX40 downpipe so I will be doing it this weekend, I should have some ready for sale in about 2 weeks

Will the HX40 piece be for turbos with 4" exhaust outlets?

No it will have 3" outlet so it will fit the existing downpipe, the actual hole size on the HX40 is a little under 3.5"
