They're used on cummins.. I was just looking over a hx40m today.. on a marine 5.9 cummins..
I wouldnt use it on anything else than a diesel... they're small turbos used to take advantage of a diesels small rpm band..... internal wastgates arent good for anything over 15-20psi.. HAve you seen the turbo? So i take it if he converted it to external, he blocked off the internal wastegate?

The DIY Mustang guys use the HX35's. It would become a restriction on an LS1/LT1/350 SBC at higher RPM.
Holset also uses volume for the turbine housing instead of A/R. There will be a number like 19, 20 etc. stammped on the turbine housing, or just inside of the inlet. That stands for cm^2. The smaller the number, the smaller the A/R. That would be an important factor to consider also.
I've used an HD2 diesel turbo (68mm I think, can't remember) with success on a stock cube LS1. I'm doing a build with a 58mm H1E right now.
Just my $.02.

Only drawback to internal wastegates are slow opening times and pressure creep..

Huh, I left my book at work... but the book stated that internals arent usually good for anythign past 15-20psi... Maybe this applies to smaller turbos used on gas engines.. since I know the demand is alot higher on diesels..
got me...

I was told the small diesel rpm band doesn't matter, its not the rpm that spools the turbo its the exhaust..2500 rpm in a diesel or 6000 rpm in a LT1 exhaust is the key..On http://www.turbomustangs.com/smf/ ...BTW not just mustangs on there, Lt1's LS1's Olds, Caddy, and all kinds of homemade turbo guys running those turbos with great results..
