I proved this to myself this past week, tried to different turbos on my 3406, first was a garrett tv8511 with a single entry 1.39 housing, pretty similar in spec to a GT5518 and the performance was less than desirable, then switch to a HC5 holset setup as would have came on a K series, E trim turbine and 40cm twin entry housing.
This turbo is almost as responsive as the S410 that used to be on the engine, and was rather surprising to me.
And being bigger than the OE charger that come on the 3406, the HC5 probably made a little less overall boost? And Ill bet the engine brake works better too?
