so im getting this turbo with the kit i bought>t3 to4e 57 trim..5bolt
what manifolds will work with this turbo...i was looking at doing a megan

 

4/5 bolt is for the downpipe

megan is 4 bolt

 

the 4 or 5 bolt has to do with the turbine housing= dowpipe flange

the turbine inlet is usually always 4 bolt = t25, t3, t4 etc.

Most of the manufactuers of manifolds always offer a T3 flanged manifold.

most mani's will work.. the boltage ur reading has to do with the downpipe flange

 

so if i bought the megan mani and downpipe the mani would work but the downpipe would not correct?

 

also if i got the 4 bolt megan downpipe could i buy a 5bolt flange and then cut off the 4bolt and weld the 5bolt on?

 

^ You could do that, with the Megan Manifold and Downpipe you have to reweld the waste gate return line on the down pipe because it does not line up corrcetly, so you would have to have it welded any ways.

 

could i just cut the waste gate return and just go open dump?

 

Honestly you can probably get one made for a decent price at an exhaust shop. Or get the megan one re-made. You could cut the wg return because the megan has a wg flange on it. It is purely up to you

Personally I would buy a new turbine housing and go external wg. That would be the cheapest routt

 

the turbo kit i have coming comes with a treadstone mani...i just don't really want to cut my radiator fan an inch off each blade...would i be better doing that tho?

 

You more pressing matter is your dp atm. You can take the wg actuator off and replace the turbine housing with a 4 bolt. That would probably be cheapest option.

 

new to turbos so whats a downpipe atm? and how much would it be to replace with a 4bolt?

 

The downpipe is the tube that comes off the exhaust side of the turbo. Shoot todd an email about turbine housings he can get you set up with one. I've never priced one

 

i sold him the kit, the turbo uses a external wg not internal!!!!!

and the dp is a 5bolt design, topeka i would recommend u just either cut into the fan or get a slim line fan.... i wouldnt wanna pay to get stuff welded up would you?



and getting a new exhaust housing would cost big bucks too

 

i no a few professional welders so thats no big deal...thinking about doing the slimline tho...i also had heard tho that the megan gives better performance than the log so thats another reason i was looking at it

 

Oh he made it sound like he didn't have a 5 bolt dp. Just get fans man they are cheap. Todd can set you up with some as well

 

lol he doesnt need the fans niether what wrong with shaving an inch off each fan blade?, you just really wanna get todd some buisness haha

 

why ruin a factory part? they are expensive to replace.

 

haha ull never guess what piping i used to make my dump tube...HINT* it was a factory part

 

anyone wanna tell me how much for a slimline fan, where to buy, and what it takes to put on
