i got my holset hx52
well it finally got here, holset hx52, going on my 1990 turbo with a mild street port, 1600cc injectors in all 4 corners, e85 fuel, haltech e6k, hks cast manifold, 44mm wastegate, hks exhaust, not sure what size intercooler piping i want to use yet. hoping for some good numbers from this piece, cant go to big because the motor wasnt doweled when we rebuilt it. i will post pics when the car comes apart and then after tearbo has his way with it.

So you put this thing on yet? Mine is running now just tring to tune it and also getting another muffler the HBP is soo soo LOUD. I love it but neighbors dont. Im running 3" intercooler piping. Is your motor rebuilt? Did you stay with a S5 engine? How mush boost are going to be running?

no s5 motor, i had already street ported and rebuilt a s4 so i just dropped it in, i wish mine was bridgeport, as far as boost goes, i will go as much as i can until i feel that the motor is going to take it. probably around 420 or so horse power.

Looking good what oil pressure are you running before turbo and what size restrictor into the turbo? How does it pull? I just drove mine for the first time today just got it where i can go around the street and start playing I still have lots of tuning to do. Looking good though.

i just used the stock oil line, hacked it in the middle and had my friends at a hydraulic shop join the two pieces at the length i needed. no restrictor, just the stock oil line size.
