Lol just throwing it out there. I know he does turbos but I don’t know if there is anything different about a Holset.

Thanks guys,
Holset is one of the few models I use to specialize in and have tooling for all the way up to the HX80’s. Complete turbo overhaul with components and VSR balancing will be $315. I will tear it down prior to ordering the components to determine the condition of the CHRA. Holsets like to eat turbine shafts near the piston ring on the turbine end.
Call when you’re ready. I’ll be able to rebuild come the 1st of april.

Sounds good! I might need the internal wastegate welded shut also. The turbo comes in Monday, I’ll contact you at some point. Thanks.

Holsets are fantastic turbochargers. The only OEM turbocharger I’ve known to have greater extreme boost durability were the old Rajay’s, but they unfortunately went under(Turbonetics actually bought all remaining NOS and equipment).
Grantid they are diesel turbocharger technology, but there are small a/r turbine housing retro’s to make them suitable for home brewed builds(Bullseye comes to mind)

I didnt think it was possible, but you actually used “NOS” as a business acronym on a car forum.

Yeah it should be a nice turbo for my motor. Some other guys run them on their RB25’s with great results. It’s going to be a fun year, maybe I’ll actually make it to LVD this year for the 1/4mile :lol
