well i got around to changing the gasket on my rev hard manifold and i noticed the flange for the t4 is way bigger then the opening on the rev hard manifold.

i know this manifold was made to use a t3 or t4 turbo, so i know the opening is sized for a t3. so if i took my dremel and opened it so that it would match the t4 turbo flange in theory wouldnt that help in spool up?

just wondering

thanks

im pretty sure it will. i ported my rev hard at the head and where the turbo bolts up and i noticed a little faster spool. not too much though. i would say do it, its free power

Definitly port it, just becareful not to weaken the are where the T4 bolts to. That would be considered a MAJOR restriction to exhaust flow. Also, going from the T3 flange inlet to T4 turbo opening the exhaust gas loses velocity.
