70k miles on the clock and most with the HX40... . no issues ,but I don't bark it very much in my 6sp truck

No worry about blowing it... and will Piersafy soon as I can find a loaner to run while he has it=ZERO blow ups

starts to spool around around 6 lbs of boost [don't pay attention to rpm do to crappppy dial] should be around 1600 + a bit

I'm running a Piers prepped HX40/16. To answer your questions:



How much boost are you pushing with it? 41 psi max, 39/40 constant



Whar BOMBs do you have on the engine (injectors, boxes)? See signature below



Do you think it will blow up on you? I seriously doubt it. I beat it hard and it's held up so far



How many have you blown up? None, and I have only heard of a couple that have failed, but it was when the turbo wasn't run according to Piers' instructions.



What RPM does it spool? Pretty quick... around 1600 rpm. The turbo itself spins ~130k rpm at 40 psi.



Who did you purchace the turbo from? Piers Diesel Research



What is the Part number on the turbo? P/N is the HX-40, don't know the serial no.



Hope this helps, John

I have a bone stock HX40, have had it on since June 2001, ~35K miles



How much boost are you pushing with it?

Normal driving - 8 - 15 PSI, Drag racing - 45 PSI. My wastegate died on me this summer, so I just disabled it. Wastegate was set at 43 PSI.

See my profile (dd3's, drag Comp, SBC, K&N..... )

Purchased from and installed by Diesel Dynamics in Vegas.

The part number for the ones on the ISC engines is #3800383. I almost had one from some guy on ebay for 225 bucks after the reserve wasn't met and the prick sold it out from under me.

I am running a PDR HX40 with a 4" exhaust, 275 injectors and a TST Powermax 9. I have not noticed anything over 30 lbs of boost but the powermax 9 uses the trucks computer to tell it what the boost is and I have seen reports that this is extremely unreliable. The spool up isn't much different from the stock 35 except when it does spool up I get pains in my face from smiling to much. I have not found any ford or chevies that want to race anymore-oh well-maybe I'll paint my truck. Oo.

I have a bone stock 40. It is wastegated at 40psi. If you use them much above that I hear they will blow. I think mine starts to kick in the pants about 1700. I bought mine brand new for $275. Check my profile for what I have done to my truck.
