WD, Didn't Mike weld on a T3 Flange to his T2 bottom mount, and externally gate his manifold? I've not seen him on in a while or I would ask him.

But his fit just fine with plenty of room.

And I have a T2 turbine, on my GT3076R and it fits just fine. That's a pretty big compressor.

I would say put the T3/T04E or whatever that is, with the .48ar exhaust housing on it and do the flange conversion. I think that's what Mike did, but I'm not sure. I will did up his old thread if I can.

What about the oil return line with a bottom mount t3? A friend of mine is concerned that I'll have return problems because there isn't a lot of room down there. The engine mount is right in the way which presents a problem. I was able to go over the mount with the smaller t2, but I think with a bigger turbo I won't be able to fit over the mount. I have a brand new oem oil pan on the way, so I can do whatever I want with it, I'm just trying to think of the best return path.



He went through the mount, I'll see if I can do the same.

For the feed line, I'm sure I can get an adapter and use my current line, but what about restrictors? Should I not put one in? I want to make sure everything on my oiling system is spot on the first time around. Installing the restrictor didn't change a thing about the smoking issue.

Nah, wasn't Mike...

Crap I should know this. With the internal gated T3 this could be awsome. Might as well consider me doing this MOD for $$$ within the month.

Awesome, well everything car related is going to be put on hold for now, school starts Wednesday so besides being busy with schoolwork, I won't even have my car. Around Christmas time I'll order a t3 flange and a super sixty and do work son. I'll be sure to make a thread with pics and all that jazz.
