It is a HY35W for sure, from a Dodge with an Automatic transmission right?
HX35W always has a twin scroll turbine housing, turbine housing is bolted vs the v-band clamp used on HY. HX35W has actuator mounted on a bracket bolted to the turbine housing and is running a hose to the comp housing, the comp housing fixed actuator with the o-ringed steel line also gives away that this is a HY35W
His said his truck had an Allison Transmission when he bought it.. so we are unsure of the history of the truck..
I had the turbo checked out today, they said the balance was spot on and the play was within normal range.. so hope to start getting stuff together to mount this thing under the car.. plan to mount it in an easy spot first due to the MASSIVE amount of room under the car, which would allow me to shoot straight up to the air inlet easy with minimal fabrication.. kinda a test install to reduce cost to see if the lag is to much or not with the turbo combo'd...
The turbo shop showed me a catalog of like 20 different turbine housing available for this turbo.. with even smaller turbine housings for quicker spool... should one of these be used possibly for increased spool??
I had the car up on the lift to do oil change over the weekend and i swore i took some pictures, but i cant seem to find them on my phone.. so ill have to do it again to show yall.. but i put some spare peaces of pipe i had laying around with some silicone couplings to ruff test if there is enough room and if i position the turbo facing directly forward and place the compressor cover either to the left or right of the tunnel hiding part of it behind the opening of the tunnel.. there is SOOOO much room to position piping through the tunnel and still have INCHES between them.. This would allow for minor pipework and just a oil pump to pump the oil back to the engine.. The turbo sits right over the support bracket down there and would allow me to mount it directly to this with a supporting bracket of some sort also..
I placed 2 x 2.25 inch peaces of pipe across the top of the tunnel roughly with tape and then a random 3 inch pvc pipe to visually look at home much room between them.. and there is over 8 inches between them if i placed the downpipe so it routed into the turbo from the far left or far right bottom area and angled it into the turbine with like 2 x 45 degree bends..or even a single 1 x 90 degree bend..
If turbo is mounted on the cross support.. there is enough room to run oil return from the turbo and over the support and back to the engine via a inline pump..
I swear that giant hole down there is just singing.. "turbo me"...
