Default Will this turbine housing fit my downpipe?

I was running a BEP T3/TO4E 57 trim turbo on my Civic up until recently. I then got into a GTX3076R and I am interested in getting a turbine housing for it.

Is the T31 housing Garrett sells for the GTX3076R the same (dimensionally) as the one on my BEP turbo? Meaning will I be able to put the T31 cover on the turbo and have my current downpipe line right up with the housing?

Yes. The T31 2.5" 4 bolt that is sold as an option with the GTX3076R will have the same bolt pattern fitment as the BEP 4/5 bolt turbine housing used on their T3/T04B 57 trim.

GTX3076R T31 turbine housing


Will fit same bolt pattern as this (please note 2.5" T31 4 bolt flange overlaying the BEP turbine housing.

Hey, thanks for the reply Shodan. Sorry if my post was unclear, I understand the downpipe will bolt up since both have the 2.5" bolt spacing. I was wondering if the BEP housing is the same width, height, etc as the Garrett housing so I wouldn't have to modify the downpipe to line up to my exhaust and the turbo.

Nope. They are completely different. The BEP is much thicker than the Garrett. By about 30%.
