maybe I dont get it? (a little confused)

[emperor_lunchbox]

I was browsing eBay and I came across this guys site, he has a t3/to4e for $295 (dont worry, I am not considering a purchase) But his turbo has a 5 bolt flange on the back, I thought that was a t2x thing? I also thought that the 5 bolt was generally internally gated? Am I confused or is it the listing.

here is the link to the turbo:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=true

My T3 S60 has a 5 bolt flange

[emperor_lunchbox]

hmmm. I guess I just always assumed the 5 bolt was for a t2x. thanks.

[LEMHEAD16]

There are different size 5 bolt flanges. I think there is a Nissan/mercedes size and then a ford style but don't quote me on that.

[emperor_lunchbox]

is your t3 internally gated?if not, do you just use a turbo elbow?

[david200095367]

i have a t3 s60 too. mine is 5 bolt discharge and downpipe connected right to the flange. im running an external w/g.

[emperor_lunchbox]

I get. I guess I never really thought about it.anyway? do you have pics?Also, why did you choose the super 60 over a t3t4 hybrid?Im not criticizing, I am trying to select a turbo now and I am going back and forth between a t3 s60 and a t3/t4 50 trim.What type of power levels do the t3 s60 generally see?

[LEMHEAD16]

10 psi nets me 225/260 on super 60. I hope to hit the 300hp range but that will be the absolute limit on that turbo. I chose the S60 for instant spool up

[emperor_lunchbox]

whats the spool like?When does it come in and when is it full?Also, what is it like in the top end, does it run out of breath?

The T2's 5bolt outlet

The T3's 5bolt outlet

I'm very curious about the T3 S60 vs T4 50 trim...

I just got a t25 out of a 95 talon(For Free, WOOT WOOT, and a SMIC), it looks like that top pic.

This might sound totally retarded, but I am a total newb on turbo's and I have spent the better part of the night triyng to weave my way through DSM hell. Is that an internall waste gated turbo, IE: I cant replace / dont need a waste gate

End of thread jack, surry

[emperor_lunchbox]

yes, the top turbo is internally wastegated. It also appears that yours is internally wastegated as well. To be honest, I havent ever seen a t2x externally gated. I am pretty sure its possible, but I have never seen it.

[coolbone28]

you should be able to bypass the internal wg if you want to run an external one. but you dont need one.

[teddy]

I've seen it on a few cars before. Weld the wastegate flap shut, tag on an external gate.

[crackler]

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[Iamjohnhayes]

you could also just remove the actuator and get the 5 bolt flange that covers the w/g flapper
