The PDR HX40 turbo is designed for increased reliability and
faster spool up, over a stock HX40 turbo. The
PDR HX40 turbo is recommended for trucks that are running between 350hp and 425hp.
For trucks under 350hp you should consider the PDR HX35 turbo. For trucks over
425hp you should consider the Custom S300 Series Turbos or PDR Twin Turbo systems. The PDR HX40 is also a good choice
for medium horsepower trucks that do a lot of towing, and for customers who would
prefer less turbo lag and more streetable driving manners versus customers looking
for all out performance. Trucks intended for high performance street
applications should consider the custom S300 Series or the PDR Twin Turbo systems.
Each PDR HX40 is custom
made to PDR specifications, including modifications to the oiling of the turbo
shaft. These modifications along with zero balancing have lead to a significant
increase in reliability.
The PDR HX40 comes with a 16cm exhaust housing.
With HX40
exhaust housings, the flange is 4" straight out of the turbo and does not
use an exhaust elbow. For some applications, this will require the use of a new
down pipe and a 4" V-band clamp. Down pipe and clamp are not included, sold separately.
Typical turbo mount exhaust brakes are not compatible
with HX40 exhaust housings and down pipes. The use of an exhaust brake with a
HX40 turbo requires a brake that mounts downstream in the exhaust, such as a 4"
remote mount exhaust brake.
