I have some 5 bolt flange turbo questoins. I recently purchased this 5 bolt flange.

And this is the turbo flange that i have pictures from my turbo.

Now either i orderd a jank flange or its not fitting up right. Please help me. Only 2 holes on the bottom fit right and the others are all next to the hole or off a bit. If that is a good flange then is my turbo just old or are there different 5 bolts to get. If you notice on my flange the low part....on my turbo its higher....more of a square then it is.

Can I use this flange anyways? Can I just get pancake sized washers on the top and crank it down and that will create a good enough seal? I think if i just get huge washers for the top part and crank it down and the washers will hit the edge of the flange it shold create a good seal but i dunno. Please all opinions and help is appreciated thanks.

 

You got the Ford 5 bolt flange, and you need the Mercedes 5 bolt which is a larger bolt pattern. I already hooked another memeber on here up with the correct laser cut flange, if you want I can sell you one also.

I'm helping a friend of mine piece together a kit and I'm not sure which discharge flange I need. The turbo is a garret T3 super60 with a .48 exhaust housing. I had one flange and two of the holes lined up like this guys and the other three were off. Anyone sure of what flange I need and where I can get it??

Thanks and sorry to hijack the thread.

 

yeah thats how mine fit, i was so mad to, because after all time/money i have put into this and to not have something work right...grr but thanks to HT for helping me figure it out

do you have anymore of those t3 mercedes style flanges? ive bought 2 different styled t3 flanges so far and none has fit because i guess they are the ford style ones. i really need one

 

I believe that Kteller8 has some of the mercedes wide five t3 flanges. Shoot him a pm and see, very good guy to deal with!
