Just a few questions before I begin purchasing parts.

1. I have purchased a T3 Turbo, will it fit on a T3/T4 Manifold?

2. On Wastegates, 1 side bolts to the Manifold, but where does the other hole bolt to? I'd rather not run a dump pipe, but for those who don't run a dump pipe, what can I do?

Thanks for your help? I tried searching the 1st Question but T3 and T3/T4 where to short to be keywords :-(

1. more than likely its actually a t3 manifold, and they just use t3/t4 so its easier to sell on ebay.

2. why would you rather not run a dump pipe?

Well, I'm a prison guard, and I'm going to have the Inmate Workers weld my 2.5 V-Band Flange on the downpipe, however, for proper fitment with using a downpipe, I would have to give them the Manifold, Wastegate, and the Turbo. I trust there welding 100% because I've had them weld things in my area of control in the prison several times a week (I'm the Kitchen Tool Room Officer) However, I do not trust them with my turbo in there hands.

This might be a time to look at other people to install your system if "trust" is an issue. You have to run the excess gas somewhere.

I'll be installing the Turbo with a few of my buddies, but none of them have experience in welding. I hadn't asked them how they routed from there downpipe.

EdSales

What alternative routes can I run other than downpipe? I saw somewhere earlier where someone was talking about running it to the TB because running it to the compressor causes a surge?

dumptube is critical, you will see power loss adn heat issues without one

EdSales

Wait, I feel like a dumbass now, thought you had to weld the dump pipe to the Downpipe, call me a dee dee dee :-(
