Holset turbos

[twoforty]

I have been doing a lot of research on the Holset turbos the hybridz guys have been using on thier l28ET conversions.
For the price they look like a very good turbo, the HY35W is the one to use, later called the HE351CW which has a slightly bigger compressor wheel.
I've ordered nearly all the bits I need to build my engine and plan on using the HY35 with my megasquirt.
Has anyone else thought of using this turbo over here seeing as they are made in the UK...prices for a recon are £375, new £495...pretty cheap for a turbo capable of 38psi boost

sounds good to me if my Garrett plays up I will go for one too do they have a wesite?

Yeah, they are fitted to 5.9l diesel dodge rams in the states, here I think they were fitted to leyland trucks in 2001.
Website has service manuals and lots of other info.

The later he351cw has an electronic boost control valve whcih could be useful or just blanked if not used.

Apparently 200hp diesel equates to 400hp flow for petrol, don't quote me on that though
