I have an 89 Coupe, and I'm about to do a CA18 swap. I also have a .48 T3 sitting in my office from another project. Has anyone run a T3 on a CA18? The CA has a T2 footprint, so I would have to buy a manifold, right? Just wondering, since I already have this turbo.

you could weld a T3 flange onto the T2 flange. It's a little ghetto but it works.

I've got an SSac T3 manifold under a TB03 60trim. Questionable quality, but it is an option. http://www.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=92377

For people running a T3 -

What kind of power are you putting down, and when do you see full boost?

Will a T3 with a swapped flange clear the stock mani?
