welding t3 flange on t25 flanged ram horn
Im looking to buy a ram horn turbo manifold which has a t25 flange on it. My turbo is a t3/t4 50 trim. Is it that big of a deal to weld a t3 flange on it? Will it be just as reliable and everything? And will it be worth it? Or should i just wait and find one thats t3 flanged already?

If it has a 4" collector you can probably just trim down the collector a bit to a t3 flange opening. This manifold is made to fit a smaller compressor housing, gotta take that into consideration also. Truthfully, Id just get a manifold thats built for a T3/T4.

It'll be fine to trim as long as you don't get into interference with the wastegate opening. If they drilled the opening right at the flange, then when you trim up, your gonna have to recut the wastegate and have that moved....could turn into a b*tch or a lot of work.
