Default Check out these T4 flanges I had made

So we were having issues getting 2inch schedule 10 to merge with a t4 flange for my twin setup. Short of cutting the piping in half and widening the pipe, it wasn't going to look good. So I had a machinist friend come by and get some ideas of what we were trying to accomplish.

And this is what he came up with

The transition is too short to really do anything, but it looks sick and made our life way easier

Waste of time/time on the cnc machine IMO. Props for the effort but there will be no noticeable gains.

Support holes could be handy, but really, all that machining on the turbo side is a waste of time.

A simple round hole flange is perfectly fine and easier for most as they want to weld round pipe into them.

I agree, the aero mod on the backside of the flange is not going to do anything for you. You could actually just run the pipe further into the volute as the transition from small to large and back to small again is doing nothing positive for you.

The support holes were what I thought would make it really handy supporting the turbo.

No doubt the transition is worthless, we all knew that going into it. But he wanted to anyways, and i wasnt going to stop him LOL.

I like it. Only thing I would have added is a slight cut on the round side to register the pipe coming in.
