Helpful Notes

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s a solid street/tow turbo for a mostly stock 12-valve?

A modern S300 SX-E 62/68 with a tight T3 housing is a popular choice for quick spool and ~300–400 hp with proper fueling and exhaust flow.

Do I need an HX40 downpipe with my upgrade?

Many S300/S400 and larger Holset upgrades use an HX40-style 4.0″ outlet. Pair with the correct downpipe or an adapter outlet flange.

Will my ’89–’90 non-intercooled truck need extra parts?

Non-IC trucks may require additional charge-air plumbing. Intercooled pipes & boots (’91.5–’93) can be used when converting to an intercooler.

What install hardware should I refresh?

Use new T3 inlet gaskets, outlet seals, and a quality oil drain. Check studs/fasteners and V-band hardware.

How big can I go on a single?

Singles beyond mid-60 mm compressor wheels can get laggy for towing. For higher power with drivability, step into a compound kit.
