I got home a little late to nite(oldest Baseball game) and ther it was a box from PDR ;D 8)<br><br>I have check it out is all for now the thing has a huge intake housing. <br><br>It will go on tomorrow night. Power here we come I keep you all up to snuff on how it works....<br><br>Getting a box from Piers is just like Christmas morning all over again...

I was just getting ready to post and ask about the same thing. (scary) <br><br>Please let us know how it goes, I'm very interested in this turbo set up for my future Bombing plans. <br><br>What size is the exhaust housing? Does it use 4&quot; exhuast or does it require 5&quot;?<br><br>That thing has to be huge. 8)<br><br>DB

Let us know man. I'm just as curious. May be an alternative to twins if it works good enough.

It's on waiting for me to take her home or maybe I'll drive around alittle more tonite 8) 8) 8)<br><br>Piers has made this a truely bolt on turbo, all I had to do is rotate the intake housing about 5 deg. No messing with the oil return or the exhaust.<br><br>It has the 17 housing and bolts right up to the same down pipe the HX-40 did. ;D ;D ;D<br><br>I got to go out and see how she works now, but as far as putting it on it was a breeze.

BigBlue

Sweet deal man.

Me too! ;D I am guessing $1500...

It is on and the only words that come to mind is WOOOOOOW....<br><br>Piers has got another WINNER here!!!!! <br><br>It is truly a bolt on like his HX-40 no mods where need for the oil return or the exhaust matched up perfectly. The intake side had to be rotated down about 5 deg, although the elbow could have been turned in the hose.<br><br>Now for the good stuff....<br><br>It starts making boost at 1600 RPMs and once it comes on hang-on!!!! The boost takes off like a rocket(I'm going to suggest to Piers to call it the HX-55 Rocket) I am still in the break in phase right now but once tonite it hit 50 PSI at only 3/4 throttle.<br><br>EGTs cruising down the freeway(70MPH) are maybe 25 deg higher than the PDR HX-40 was this morning going to work. The boost cruising a freeway speeds is right at the same level as the PDR HX-40.<br><br>The EGTs seem to rise faster then stop and drop as the boost get higher. On the on ramp heading home tonite at only 3/4 throttle I entered the freeway at 3/4 throttle and only 1200 deg and 5 MPH faster than normal. At 3/4 throttle my seat of the pants meter tell me that there is more now than before at full throttle. <br><br>On the down side...<br><br>My top end smoke is gone the lazer cut delivery valve should solve this.<br><br>The rear tires are going to hate this turbo <br><br>Thank goodness for Piers giving us junkies the products that keep us in our evering ending quest for for more and more HP.<br><br>THANK YOU PIERS for another great product!!!!!

drawson

Your right in the ball park price wise....

Jim Fulmer

Drawson, we should have some kind of test between us as I will have my Twins with an 18.5 on the 35 and Lazer DV's and a Custom Plate with 370's, almost the same as you, I have 3.54's with 265 tires and the truck weight's 6300. My guess is the 50/55 is not going to be far from my Twins in H.P and EGT control, think about it. Chipsen's truck seemed close to mine now both in EGT's and H.P.<br><br>Jim<br><br>

DarrellB

Sweet 8) 8)<br><br>That's a whole lot cheaper than a set of twins. <br><br>DB

drawson

Jim sounds like a plan. There is one other thing, we do have different trans. Where are you HP wise right now before the twins? I have Dyno'd from 460-503 with the PRD HX-40.<br><br>
