But its larger than an S500 so my statement stands true.

Holset doesnt have a turbo to compete with that frame size, though there are HX82s that get down to 82mm inducer compressors, but in all reality comparing a 82 to an S500 just isn't fair.

Yes the only game in town is Holset or Garret for anything larger than a S400

You never see many high power S500 trucks, in the pickup truck engines anyway. Have heard the turbine is their problem over the S400 turbine.

S500s are no more reliable on the large engines.

Seen quite a few spit the turbine out while still within Borgs recommended max tip speed.

HX60s make me drip. My favorite unit by far.
