Default 5 bolt downpipe/ 4 bolt turbo

I just bought a new turbo, then noticed it has 4 bolt pattern on the exhuast side.
The downpipe that i have is from my drag kit. Is there anyway that i can get around this without buying a new dp??

wont work very well considering the 4 bolt turbo has a different configuration. if he were to do that i'd be pretty sure he cant access the 5th bottom bolt.


we need to have arturbo show why you CANNOT USE A 4 bolt housing on a drag/inlinepro/revhard/blox manifold ( Pretty much anything designed to use with a 5 bolt)

I follow what your saying but I dont see how it could be hard to access 4 bolts rather than 5 on a "drag/inlinepro/revhard/blox manifold" setup. 5 is damn near impossible, 4 has to be easier.

you'd prob ahve to shave the 5 bolt one down a good 1/4 more cuz the 4 bolt version turbo has an extra bit of " lip" to it that you gotta account for .

btw that 4 boolt turbo will not bolt onto your motor the traditional way compressor ( intake side) on the passangerside of the motor.

no i already figured that it won't bolt up the same way, so i got it mounted the other way.
