Hey guys what's up.

I just had a few questions for those of you using T3 flanged turbo's in your KA-T set up.

I may use a top mount, SSA knock off manifold (flanged for a t3) and need to know,

1. If I go with an FC turbo can I use the stock elbow or would I have to go with a custom one?

2. If I can use the stock elbow, will it bolt to an SR downpipe?

With the SSA T25/28 turbo mani's, it places the turbo like the SR mani does so, the stock elbow and d/pipe can utilized. This is what I was gona go with but plans may have changed as this t3 flanged manifold is way cheaper (from a friend) I just want to know if Im in for a lot of custom work or can stock parts be utilized as well as some aftermarket ones later.

Thanks for the help, I really appreicate it.

Take care.

Easy

Let's gather our thoughts.-No, if it's top mount it probably doesn't use the stock turbo elbow.-Mazda turbo, well how much do Mazda and Nissan share tips, probably custom.-From all I've heard SSA manis are worthless. they may make a stock t25 look sw33t on an sr20, but they crack.Get/ make a better manifold and an exhaust shop can make your down pipe.TB
