Can anyone confirm that this downpipe will work on a t3 .42/.48 turbo (internal wastegate) off a Saab? I don't have the turbo in my possession (waiting for it to arrive in the mail) and this is my first time putting a kit together. There isn't much information on the ebay auction other than it "t3/t4 aluminum downpipe for b16 and b18" I would be using this on a RevHard manifold on a d16y7/8 mini me

That flange is not for an internally wastegated turbo...

Not going to work...

 

assuming you take the internal wastegate off since your using a rev hard manifold it should work...

Thats what I was thinking as well, but wasn't sure if the wastegate flap indented back in the turbo.

I'm keeping the internal wastegate and just blocking off the flange for the wastegate on the manifold.

 

Well if you can remove the internal wastegate from the turbo, then you are good to go.

 

seeing that downpipe on your nice CF hood makes me cringe.

Im sure thats why its sitting on the box.....

 

i dont think it is his yet guys...he said its on ebay so it isnt his car

 

the flange is resting on the hood. doesnt take much to scratch clear coat.

 

hey hunter, why don't you just take off the internal gate...take it to alex and have him weld shut the flapper...and pick up a nice SSAC 35mm wasteage? then you could use that down pipe.

 

How do the SSAC wastegates hold up? I wouldn't trust anything from SSAC unless I've gotten plenty of feedback that could confirm it works properly.. I don't want it breaking 2-3 months down the road, especially since this is my DD.

I've been thinking of running an ext. wastegate but that's more money than I have right now, and I'd like to spend it on OBD2-&gt;1 conversion harness and an ecu for uberdata

Ohh yeah, it's at about $75 shipped right now and no one has bid on it yet

 

the ssac w/g's are identical to the tial 35mm w/g's

hell, you can get a tial copy of the bov and w/g for like 200ish shipped (tial bov's suck ***...but that's cheap)

 

i'll take your word on it.. i'll start searching around

 

ebay is your friend
