blown HX-40

[Smoker]

Well,
It's true. If a 40 is held close to 50psi for too long, it will explode. I ripped the shaft in two in mine this evening. I got the bright idea of pinching the wastegate tube off recently and I paid for it today.
My question is who has the best deal on rebuilding my HX-40 or is it cheaper to get a reman unit? If you don't want to post price here, e-mail me.

Hey don't feel bad I pushed my HX35 w/12 housing way over the limit by pushing over 50 lbs thru it for about 6 months. It didn't break the input shaft but the compressor wheel was grinding a tad into the compressor housing it's self. That thing made the god awfulest noise, it sounded like a 6 month old kid screaming at the top of his lungs. Oh well, it comes with the territory I guess. You play, you pay, and I'm gonna keep playing... lol. Good Luck!
