yeah you should sell the one you got and get one that fits. it's too much of a hassel to try and make a 3.5 dp work where the turbo sits.

Don't worry I'm already pissed. It didn't say that it would require a 3.5" downpipe. I figured since they were the same size as the 70 that they would require the same size downpipe. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet.

Well, I got an PTE88 in there so yes it can be done. You will start running into spool issues down the road. Mine is necked down and still makes the turn but spool time is horrible.

I just looked at it and we just welded the orig downpipe inside the new flange that i got with the new turbo.

I am in the process of building a kit from the ground up now. I wish I would have never tried to modify the kit. I am sure this is not helping your post much but I am trying to warn you. Though I am sure the 76 is easier to fit than my 88.
Good luck man.

Do you have any pictures? What size downpipe did you need the 3.5"? Since your building a new one, it sounds like you wont be needing that one then and I just so happen to need it possible trade action

Its the stock DP with the bigger flange for the 88 on it. I am sure we could work something out.

How the hell did you do that? It's a 4.5" clamp right?

Have you taken it off of the kit yet? I'd like to see it by itself if possible.

I actually just walked outside to the car for those pics. If I get some time I might be able to take it off so you can see it off the car. I have been meaning to get rid of everything after the DP anyway. It necks down in such a short distance that it is restrictive for my 88. Might be ok with your 76 though.

It's still SS though right? You are going to be selling the entire kit right? I'd be able to trade you so you wouldn't be without a dp when you sell it. Let me know what you want to do.

This pic might be a little better. I walked out and pulled the blanket back.

No this is a real PTK kit not ebay. It is coated. Also I wouldnt really need yours. There is not much call for a modded PTK kit for an 88mm turbo. Its to restrictive. Most of the piping will probably be trashed or reused on a buddys car. If you arent intrested in mine call up Jose at Forced inductions. I am sure he can get you what you need. He is a great guy and def knows his stuff.

I hear they are always backed up and have a problem delivering on a schedule. I'll be wrapping the downpipe anyways. Are you going to be taking it off soon? I'm trying to get this done quick.

I got mine when they first came out. I still ended up waiting 4 months or so.

I hadnt really intended to hurry the process. How fast were you thinking?

How long is your drain line? I was only supplied with a 16" drain line. And where did you tap it at?

I seem to remember mine being 24" and we tapped it at the front drivers side.

I think the biggest anyone here has gone without modifying the kit (3 inch dp) is Frost with a 76GTS.

Any chance you would be taking it off soon or could you point me in the direction you got the clamp from?
