If you can't find it then call them you can get almost anything... I mean ACRES big... http://www.spaldings.com/ <---- their site... but I'd probably just call them... they also give you ratins on the condition of the items you are looking for... < Message edited by sir_nasty -- 3/9/2006 10:56:26 AM > (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 34

I just opted to buy my turbo on ebay for 265+shipping got a t3/04E..... I am having trouble finding a good cast iron manifold for around 300 bucks.... which is the cost i am aiming for.... I guess it just means i have to be willing to spend a bit more. (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 36

RE: twin turbo help - 3/21/2006 10:20:03 AM    flomasta   Posts: 123 Joined: 10/13/2005 Status: offline so if i find the intercooler and manifold i would be able to put any turbo on there or is there bolt pattern differance or are they all pretty much the same? (in reply to marbro) Post #: 37

There are a few different flanges out there, namely t3, t4, t25. There are plenty more, but the point is you need to makes sure they are the same flange or things won't line up. The intercooler does not connect directly to the turbo, but through piping, so your main concern is manifold and dowpipe flanges. (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 38

RE: twin turbo help - 3/21/2006 12:10:55 PM    flomasta   Posts: 123 Joined: 10/13/2005 Status: offline manifold, turbo and downpipe flanges all need to connect and line up so is it easy to tell which ones will bolt up no problem, or are there numbers on them or do you just have to know?

RE: twin turbo help - 3/21/2006 7:44:50 PM    flomasta   Posts: 123 Joined: 10/13/2005 Status: offline There is a turbo header at www.f22parts.com for 500$ is this the kinda thing i need to be looking into? (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 40

RE: twin turbo help - 3/22/2006 1:02:44 AM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline Thats the one i am looking at, but I dont know if even that one will allow me to keep my a/c. Then you will have to look at if you need oil feed lines, I would assume most turbos have them but you never know. Then depending on the turbo depends if you need a 4 or 5 bolt down pipe. Ultimately you still have to verify if the bolt pattern of the turbo manifold will bolt up to your engine, example being me getting that f22 manifold and putting it on my f23 (in reply to flomasta) Post #: 41

RE: twin turbo help - 3/22/2006 10:08:56 AM    lightshow Posts: 1775 Joined: 1/6/2006 Status: offline heres the thing.....having the manifold, turbo, and downpipe bolt up right out of the box is great. but then you are stuck with whatever placement they have chosen for you...which kinda diminishes the custom part of it to start with, and more importantly fitment issues like keeping the a/c, or your fans etc. all it takes to bolt ANY turbo to any header, is a flange..(within reason) so lets say you have a t3 manifold and some other turbo maybe one part has 5 bolts and the other has 4. just fit, mark and measure exactly where you want that turbo to be (and which direction) and just have a flange made at any muffler shop or machine shop. cause maybe you want to rotate the turbo just a little, because that tiny bit of clearance can make or break you having a/c. i wouldnt really worry too much about fitment.....just trying to get a turbo manifold for your car is hard enough.

RE: twin turbo help - 3/22/2006 10:21:44 PM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline isnt saying "i wouldnt worry about fitment" and saying "just trying to get a turbo manifold for your car is hard enough" sort of a contradiction? But I have a good idea of the size of that 500 dollar manifold, so i am going to get the placement as close as possible, and its not the downpipe im worried about, its the a/c line that runs right in front of my fans. I just dont want to deal with having to redirect that line lol. (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 43
