I saw this turbo on turbochargers.com and it seems like a pretty good deal to me. Brand new t4 (or t4 with t3 flange) for 450. What I'm wondering is how you get a downpipe on this turbo. Would one go about getting a dp on this turbo by having bungs installed within this ringlet adapter flange or is there some other way to go about this? I'm stumped. I like the turbo and the price is great but what's it gonna take to bolt up a downpipe? Thanks.

To bolt this bad boy up is actually simple you'd have to use something called a v-band set which is nothing more than a clamp that holds a flang to the ringlet adapter ... its actually alot easier than a t3 flange with all its bolts now let me warn you we deal with turbochargers out here in houston and not to hate on there products cause i think they do great work but if your looking to upgrade from a t3/t4 than this is not your answer this snail setup will only push roughly 300-350 max . - fyi-good luck -Pdang

 

snail setup? woudl you mind elaborating a little bit? thanks

 

Snail is a very advanced term that the pros use to keep the newbs from understanding what they are talking about. Look at a turbo....it looks like a snail.

 

oh i know what a turbo and a snail looks like, i'd never heard the term snail setup though. I'm definately not a turbo noob either. i was just wondering how one can tell that a turbo will put out a set number of horsepower. isn't it relative? wouldn't it depend on the engine. I can see if they gave a set cfm number to tell exactly the limits of the turbo but how can somebody judge how many horsepower a turbo will make on your car?

 

it tells you straight up on their website that this turbo can only produce about 350whp max
