Im piecing together a turbo kit and wanted to get some info. This is what i have

XS ENGINEERING TURBO KIT Consisting of
everything but the turbo.

So i bought a greddy turbo, manifold, and elbow. Now i bolted up the XS downpipe to the greddy elbow and it wont align right. So i took it out and put the xs elbow on and the downpipe but its not fitting right and looks like it wont clear the oil pan and bolt up to the exhaust. Its pointing towards the passanger side slightly and a bad angle. I am wondering since the greddy manfold is angled will the xs manifold work if its not angled exactly like the greddy one. Because if the XS will work then i don't need to get a new downpipe that will fit the greddy elbow and just use the XS parts I have. So my main question is, can i use a different manifold and still clear the block using the XS manifold and greddy turbo. This is he 18g. Here is a pic of the manifold and elbow.




thanks

 

The greddy DP goes with the greddy elbow. I'm not familiar with the XS stuff. You could also have somone fab up a DP for you from the turbo or greddy elbow.

 

do you know of anyone that does that? Make downpipes for the turbo. Im just wondering if the XS manifold with the greddy turbo will clear the block. If it will then the downpipe should work also.

 

What turbo flange does the XS manifold have? Does the turbo mate with the XS manifold? The greddy kit is a T25 or T28...can't remember which. So it smaller than the T3.

 

its the same yeah T25/T28. I am going to find out how it bolts up this saturday. I might need to find someone to fab up a downpipe though. Anyone know of anyone or a company that does this?

 

hey im in the same boat as you. i have a log manifold with a saab t3 .42.48 turbo. it came with an elbow and now i need a place to fab a dp from the elbow to cat. keep inform if you find one. i am going to call around some shops soon or fab a dp up from extra pipes laying around.

 

atp sells vbands that bolt to that flange! make your life easier, and gain some power
