Default SE Michigan random turbos

I'm building a manifold to front mount a T70 in my 2005 GTO. I'm curious how much larger would fit. Looking for people with other sizes to test fit. zip 48350

Very difficult town to navigate through. Maybe they will put a traffic light in one day.

Depends on what flange you use. T3's, T3T4 hybrids, T4's, T'6s. Need to figure out what kindad use the car is gonna get and go from there.

I'm curious how larger units would fit on my manifold. Different flanges can be fitted. The T70 I have now meets my goal for this project with good clearance.

Then it depends on how you put together your hot side then. Even with a truck manifold setup you can run a big turbo without a problem.

I'm past the theoretical. The point of this thread is to test fit local parts if available.

Ok then you need to ask that not what parts will fit a manifold that you haven't built yet or said what kinda flange you are using.

I'll try and be clearer: I have a manifold. I have a turbo. They both fit my car great. They are appropriate for my goals. I'm curious how larger units would fit. I'm looking for local people with different size turbos that I can physically set in my car on my manifold. They don't have to bolt to my T3 flange. I will align to the rear inboard mounting hole which is my limiting factor. My manifold could be reproduced or modified with different flanges if in the future I or somebody else had different goals.
