T3 turbo on my 5s-fe - Page 2

TomsMR2 · 05-29-2009, 08:11 AM

buy a welder.. even a ****** chinese welder. you'll be glad you did. the muffler shop guys dont give half a crap about your car.. having the ability to weld yourself comes in handy 5000 times over!

i sold my welder when i moved and have basically regretted it since. gonna pick up a tig soon.

^then spend a lot of time practicing before you go to weld something important.

fvillota · 05-29-2009, 08:50 AM

What is the turbo you are planning to use off of?

You can get the adapters without a provision for an external wastegate.

This one would be easy to block off if you wanted to run an external gate later.

yea i was looking into that. the once with the wastegate flange.
will i need to move my oil filter to another location or will it all fit good?

really depends on which turbo you use. if you use a ct26/ct27/ct20b turbo there's no need for an adapter. If you use one of our T3/T4 turbos that bolts directly the 3sgte manifold, there's also no need for an adapter. If you use a standard T3 footprint turbo then you'll need an adapter.

Yeah. The pics were small, but it looks like that turbo is bolted directly to a 3sgte manifold.
