Hey everyone. not ure if this is in the right section.
I have an integra Gsr. I will be ordering an SLS Ramhorn but it came to my attention that i have an older style exhaust housing on my turbonetics t70 turbo. It is an older turbo. The exhaust flange is placed in the center of the turbo rather than being offset.
I am just wondering if anybody has ever used this turbo on a ramhorn before.
Will i have clearance issues of my downpipe hitting my radiator because of were the turbo will be placed? (Running Half Sized)
Will i have clearance issues at all?
I am unsure and need to know before I order this thing.
!Here are three pics, My turbo vs. a normal offset flange!
Here is my turbo(centerd flange)
Thanks in advance,
Rich

More than likely you will have fitment issues. The original T70 that you pictured is a "tangential" housing that is mainly used on systems that are either top mounted or in a location where the center of the turbine needs to be in the same location as the compressor. 99.9% of the kits that are created Garrett turbocharger on hondas use the "Off-center" housing that is considered to be the standard. The SLS manifolds have always been designed to use the off-center turbine housing, allowing for a bit more clearance for the cartridge and compressor housing. Looks like you might be in trouble here a bit.
