Hey Nick,
This is Ryan -- one of your recent customers. It took a bit longer than expected, but the the bullseye housing arrived today.
Ill be fabbing up a downpipe and new IC piping in the next week or two (or three as it seems everything has been taking longer with the car lately -- a weekend headgasket job recently turned into a month long fiasco as the head was machined...and then replaced all together. Also tied up some other lose ends as i make the jump from 22psi on a s16g to 18-20 psi on a much larger HX40).
ANYWHO:
For everyone else, here is the Bullseye turbine housing next to the Holset 18cm^2 housing. Again, this is the HX40. Im running this on a 2.0L, revving to 7300rpm
A side by side comparison of the Bullseye turbine housing (According to BEP is b/t 8 and 9cm^2) versus the orginal Holset 18cm housing

The outlet side, the only downside is the bullseye housing is only available with a mitsu-style outlet vs the v-band outlet of the orginal Holset housing. Bullseye uses a 38mm internal wg flapper.

The turbine inlet, The holset housing has a divided housing, which is great for spool-up if you have a manifold designed for it, which I don't.

And all together:

And just in case you forgot, the compressor housing, next a 2L Gatorade bottle

I have an hx40 with an 18cm^2 hotside...Is there any way I can get a 12cm exhaust side to bolt onto this or am I going to need to get another hx35 and throw this hx40 comp wheel and housing on it?
There are HX40/35 hybrids out there. They use an HX35 turbine wheel, turbine housing and center section and use an HX40 compressor wheel and compressor cover. If you are going to do that you have to make sure that you do not use any larger than a 58mm HX40 compressor wheel or else you will run into compressor surge problems.

I just heard back from one of my customers on his Mitsu EVO. He made 540awhp with an HX40 and the BEP turbine housing. The BEP turbine housings flow enough for 90% of the people out there. It will give you killer throttle response and still have enough flow for the top end.
