Default SLS Topmount gt3076r doesn't fit????

Has anyone else had problems with their turbo not fitting with SLS topmounts? My 60 trim fit fine but the gt3076r doesn't even come close to fitting. Any ideas why?

I contacted them, they said send pics and I did, waiting to hear back from them. I was hoping they would replace this because I believe it is defective. I have pictures of the same turbo and manifold set up and it fits fine.

I'm not sure if they gurantee it will fit all t3 flanged turbos or not. But if someone else can run a 30r i dont c why i cant. From day one my plans for this manifold was a 30r but i didnt get around to buying one till lately.

Let me find pics of the 60 trim and I will post them shortly.

nice clean setup bro. don't worry about it, SLS is a good company they will rectify the situation. I just hope they don't make you pay for any of it cause that would be BS.

gt3076r

Thanks im redoing some things right now. I was supposed to get it retuned on the 8th but this put me in a bind. I made 336whp/225 tq last time and this time im going back with a gt3076r, endyne intake manifold, and a precision 600hp intercooler. Looking to hit close to the 400 mark on pump gas.

cool just asked cause precisions housings are a bit different. thought maybe that could be why but even then, it should still fit.

wow
that has got to be a defective manifold because a gt3076r is not a considered a big turbo

Something is definitely strange about this. Manifolds are jig built, not just done on the fly each time. If they fit any other GT30, then it's certainly strange yours doesn't fit. The jig should certainly locate the turbo flange in relation to the head flange. Certainly you could have some runner variation on a small scale, but big defective issues really aren't possible.

I'd just wait to hear from them, I'm sure it'll get resolved. I understand it put you in a "bind", but that's the nature of building cars. Honda guys have it easy and get a little spoiled when it comes to off the shelf availability and fitment. Small issue...it'll get fixed.

they make their topmounts different depending on turbo.

the BW turbos didnt fit on their topmounts for a little while because the BW was to beefy know they are changing the fitments
