Default What would I have to do to use a T88 on the TTi street kit?

Could I do this and just grind a hole into the chasis to make it fit? Or what is the problem with this?

I would think it would be too much work. The crossovers would be too small, the DP would be too small and I dont think the log would support the T88.... If you want to go that big, Id look at the race kit.

Well your asking for a pain in the A$$ project but.....hmmm alomst did it but decided not too. You could fit a small framed t88 in there but honestly the kit is kinda not an efficient kit for an 88. I just upgraded mine to a on center T76 with a Q trim wheel supposedly rated to 1100. Problems ..... yes many luckily my fellow buddies from Conleys are fixin it up for me and adding a 3.5Inch downpipe.The log inlet and outlet are to small they are around 2 1/4 inch. We are taking a plasma cutter to those and opening up the hole. Could be done but its a pain. Oh yeah and getting rid of those pain in the @ss bolts and using V band clamps.... Either hope you can fabricate or hope you have some friends that can.

I have the T76 log and DP, can't I just use the same Q trim on center housing from the T76 for the T88?

If its the T76 from turbo tech its not an on center housing. If you put an true on center housing your exhaust outlet for the turbo is basically going to be pointing right at the motor mount and leave you no room for the downpipe.

No the turbine housing is alot smaller then the 88. The 88 turbine wheel is alot larger.

Ask Mighty about this. His is converted. I think he had to change the flange and get a bigger down. Not sure though, ask him.

Thats a lot of work for absolutely nothing. Street kit and T-88 shouldn't even be in the same sentence. The biggest turbo you would want to run with that kit is a t76. Even a T-76 will spool pretty late on a stock cube car and you'll probably end up pushing water with that much power (800rwhp).
