Oh snap! According to the previous thread that I just posted the OP, Louis from LGM, said this:

Is that true that the F-Body's APS manifolds have T3 inlet flanges? I remember reading somewhere that the APS manifolds have T2 inlet flanges.

They look like T3's to me. I don't think a smaller flange would support the amount of power people have gotten out of them.

Try contacting bullseye performance about getting Turbine housings or even complete turbos.

they are not T# flange. they are close but APS was smart. they are not the same i tryed to get a t3 to work when every one started the problems.

below is a picture of a t3 flange patteren

in the drawing it says 1" from left to right. that is 3.375

the APS is about 1/8 to 1/4" smaller in most places

look at this link

it is a td06 (mit 20g) ball bearing replacement. i am waiting to order mine. but this is what i will be going with.

then you dont need to change flange. just use your aps housings. and switch centers.

did you get the APS turbos with that kit? Do they happen to have pale blue plastic covers on the flanges, inlets???

Gt 35's is deff possible, but not easy...............it's gonna require some custom fab work

Well... what about modifying the exhaust manifolds? I have half a mind to do exactly that -- replacing the silly, generic, APS flanges with T3s. Good idea? Bad idea?

I'll keep those guys in mind if I get some turbine housings made.

It appears APS was pretty smart with making their own turbo flanges. That picture is hard for me to look at, it's not to scale.

Those look pretty interesting, did you happen to find out a price for them?

The APS kit I bought came with turbos. They don't have the pale blue plastic covers though.

If it was easy it would have been done already. As of right now it's looking like the APS manifolds will have to be modified with a T3 flange and new downpipes will have to be made.

I can get you up close pictures of my turbos but since they have never been run I wouldn't know if they are duds or perfectly good.

I think it would be a good idea, that is one of the only two ways you'll be able to get a Garrett GT35R on. Then all you'll have to do is make a custom downpipe. It looks to me like these exhaust housings would be the way to go.

Yeah, but with the way my psgr side DP doesn't fit, a complete redo was inevitable.

I have one set of F body GT35 turbos for sale and thay are a straight bolt on to the exhaust manifolds and down pipes...........this approach is far easier and would save you heaps of other mods.

Peter, sweet heart, we already tried this and you refused to sell me just the GT35 turbines. I'm taking a different route now.

peter@aps

iTrader: (2)

I'm just saying that I have one set of GT 35 turbos with the larger 1.06 A/R turbine housings that I can sell...........if you prefer to go another route that fine,

Cheers,
