Again, it depends on the application. In a 400rwhp VE that will tow, a Super 40 is perfect. So, in that sense, no it is not a junk turbo. You can't deny that fact, otherwise, anything you say has zero credibility.
In a high rwhp truck, yes, I would agree that an HX40 has no buisness being there, however, you give me one of your "Engineered Diesel" S300's, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that I could break it. Is it junk? No, it just wasn't intedned for that application.
You can talk to Brian Block, probably the most respected person in the 1st Gen world, and he'll tell you what he thinks about the Super 40. I can tell you right now, he knows a lot more about these engines and turbo's than you, and has been around them longer, so his opinion is of greater value than yours.

Like I said this was not a thread about towing trailers. They guy wanted a performance turbo not some weak edit HX-40. Brian Block would tell you the same thing for sled pulling an HX-40 will not compete with whats out there. Read the affore mention posts where th guy wanted to get a turbo for performance not trailer pulling.

, not very big) anything more than an HX-40 would be a waste and laggy. But i do understand where you are coming from with getting a turbo that is going to fit you application.

Exact quote from peobryant on compdiesel. "As far as turbo, a 62/71/14 is the perfect turbo for a 1st Gen. No bigger, no smaller, in my and many others opinion".

I will admit, I missed some posts in this thread about him wanting to pull his truck, I thought I read he was wanting to use it to tow, I guess I got threads mixed up.
Like Archer said, he is only planning on running POD's, which aren't very big, so I don't see a problem running a Super 40, which has an upgraded shaft, so that should no longer be a problem.
He will probably break more drivetrain parts before he ever hurts a Super 40.

O i saw the rest of it but you said for "A 1st gen" not talking about his application specifically but any 1st gen. Maybe it was just a bad case of wording i'll drop it and and give you the benefit of the doubt for sake of not argueing.

I think the size of turbo all depends on what you use your truck for, how much power you have or plannin on. You want a turbo you can grow in to, but you don't want a big laggy one. If your plannin on around 350hp and you have pods and you just use your truck for screwin around and don't tow much, I would really recommend the he351, you can get it for a good price, it spools really quick, runs cool, its a great towing turbo, and is good for at least 40 lbs. I say get somethin like this for now and then if you go off the deep end in horsepower, then you can pay a bunch of money for a big turbo and get a big one that will support your power.

Agreed, its cheaper to start with an he351 and if you grow out of it just throw an ht3b underneath it. Two turbos are cheaper than 1 if you have the skills. I've been pricing out ht3bs and have found a few for $300-$400. Pipes and oil lines are not expensive either.

Well glad to see that were somewhat back on topic, LOL. Yes I only have PODs for now, will eventaly get bigger ones. Would like to get a turbo that i could grow into over time (as mentiond in an earlier post). This truck is not used for work, Just A Toy! I do plan on pulling this truck next season so im kind of leary of the Hx40 have hurd to many bad stories from other truck pullers were I live about barkin them on the track. I dont mind spendin a little extra for somethin quality. Plain and simple I need something that will spool decent on the street when i want to take it out, and get nasty on tha track. A turbo that i could grow into over time and of course it has to sound cool!

Alright, for the price you won't beat the he351cw or he351ve. Bigger overall compressor wheel than an hx40. Wastegated from the factory. Yes it has a small exhaust housing but look at the results people have been getting. 550rwhp is the extreme upper limit. I don't see how you can beat it for the price $100-$300.
