We only offer one Holset downpipe (no flange). That's the one you'd need.

Yes.
When it comes to the site, just make sure you go into the right section (header parts or stock location turbo parts). Once in the right section, everything you see on that page works with your turbo location.

I just bought a Holset HX35 turbo. I am looking to buy a downpipe for it but on the site and on this thread it says to buy the one without the 5 bolt turbo flange. But my turbo has a 5 bolt exhaust flange? I also plan on buying a center mount header. I am also not sure if i should keep the internal wastegate or go external?

Not all 5 bolt flanges are the same. The 5 bolt flange we use is for the stock T3, or T3/T4 hybrids. Holset turbos don't use this flange design. The internal gate on an HX35 doesn't work on this application unless you mill out the divider in the exhaust housing.

Alright so how would I go about making a downpipe for it? Or any ideas? Yeah I was thinking it wasn't useful

Get a flange that matches the turbo you have and weld it to the downpipe, or if you have the stock Holset outlet, cut off everything but the flange and weld that flange to the downpipe.

I was using an HX-35 on a centermount. When building my downpipe, I ended up finding a v band Holset turbo outlet on ebay for it and bought the weld flange and clamp from this place. I welded it to Stinger's no flange downpipe and it worked great. Store.airflo.com |

Alright a couple more questions for you guys. How would I go about changing to external wastegate on the HX35? I have taken the actual assembly off of the turbo but can I just weld the internal flap closed? Also, is there any way you can use the center mount header with factory A/C? I have attempted to put the center mount and turbo on the car with 1" in spacers but it is hitting the A/C line. I would like to keep it as it has the R-12 and will freeze you out but its not a big deal if i have to get rid of it. Just looking for ideas to get around it if any?

You can weld the flapper if you want but that's not reversible. I prefer to use "stop" welded to the flange that forces the flapper shut when the flange is bolted on, or use a threaded hole and bolt through the flange to do the same thing. Other option is to wire the flapper arm so it can't move.
As you've found, the a/c line is the issue, not the compressor. If you post pics of your current clearance issue I can see if I can come up with any workarounds.

Looks like if you rotate the compressor housing so the outlet goes over the valve cover it may clear the ac line.

Ok I just removed the a/c in the car. I still rotated the compressor housing as it was hitting the valve cover and now it fits. Now i have a problem getting the turbine housing to rotate so that the oil return line is facing down. I have used liquid wrench 4 times on it overnight and used a torch twice and i have been whacking the hell out of it. Still no luck. I have looked to see how others have done their turbos on youtube but most or all of theirs have the 4 bolts holding the turbine housing and mine just has the clamp on it? Any ideas?
