Its an off the shelf Garrett 1.01 ar unit t4 flange. Its most likely temporary till you guys get those new wheels working in a t76 t4 flanged unit...

Well we can get a 76mm already. Haven't tried sticking it in the GT42 yet though. I am waiting on a freaking GT42 to arrive. Garrett is slow.

where did you get the 3 flanges that go from the manifolds to the turbo? Is it all going to be mig welded? What kind of steel?

Thanks

It does stil out pretty far, but that was on purpose. The exhaust housing on the turbo will be facing the passenger side, and the scroll on the housing will be angles back towards the motor (if you understand that). So basically, the front end of that t4 flange is the furthest point out. In the car, it sticks out to about where the bottom of the stock radiator sits. I will be moving the radiator forward and putting in an Afco or griffin unit.


THe flanges are from Stainless works. LIke 35$ each

Yeah there is a bar that goes back from the t4 flange to the upper ac bracket holes on the pasenger side of the block. The top of the flanges lies parallel with those who holes...
