Default SSautochrome downpipe flange, question

First off, its a customers turbo so I don't want to hear how bad ssautochrome is....

Since they are selling there turbo's as "garrett" turbos you would think the downpipe flange is the garret standard, well I have one in the shop thats not accepting that flange. Its millimeters off, so I was wondering if anyone knew if they had to size downpipe flanges ? Searched and found nothing of the sorts, I know I used a standard one before on these turbos, so more then likely the turbo bolts were drilled off just a little bit to cause a problem

Default Re: SSautochrome downpipe flange, question (RCautoworks)

is it one of the holes that doesnt line up? or all of them ? ive used a few vibrant 5 bolt housing flanges, and had to cut the hole to make it open so it would fit.. instead of the hole being an O shape i cut "the top of the O" to a U shape... if this makes sense. (the hole being one of the bolt holes, not the dp opening) cant remember which hole off the top of my head....

I'm using atp flanges, best flanges out there. This is a technical thread where people help each other out,

2 bolts won't line up, if you tilt the flange a little , millimeters it works.

to you I guess you couldnt tell I was joking.... but its all good....

I was just saying that even with their flanges (made for their turbos) the stuff doesnt fit... I dont think their turbos have the exact same bold pattern as the Garretts
