Not thread jackin here but I hav my eyes on this kit fort build, but turbo of choice will be the Garrett GTX3076r with .82 housing, my be a retarded question but what flange do I need to get this to bolt up to the treadstone exhaust manifold?

T3 I think. Thats a damn nice turbo

the manifold is t3. any reason you want such a big exhaust housing? it's really not necessary

That^ unless you are just going for a high hp 3076, I would get a smaller housing. I wish mine was smaller and I'm at a .63 lol

ford

Yeah i was going to do it but ended up going the S256et route. It's a great looking kit, i hope you make some sick power on it.

Hes not making any power right now lol

i been doin sum reading and the best comparison i found was on a test done at perrin comparing the gtx3076r with the .82 housing to the .63 housing and they made more power with the .82 housing which spools a lil faster and makes the same power as the old gt3582 turbos. im deployed so my power curve when i get bac i want atleast 530whp when its all said and done. my friend went with the 6262 but i plan on driving mines in the street dnt want to not enjoy my car waiting for boost. so i think that gives me a gud median to go higher if i want but be pleased with my current goal. so to clearify when i order this turbo i want just a T3 housing? or should i get a Vband not to clear on choice at this point of the build so far i selected turbo and i want the Tial housing but the flange is the last step and im confused.

ford

You are talking about two different things here. The T3 refers to the housing of the turbo, such as the part that bolts into the manifold. The tial flange is the flange for the wastegate.

ford

****, you would be a good race for my 220k mile saturn SL1. I may have to turn the A/C off for the race though, **** really saps the power on the beast.

ok i understand just trying to piece it together as im looking at it on the website. i started a thread in the turbo section of my rebuild and goals which i think the .82 would be better for.

ford

You do realize that it will be a much much slower spool than the .63ar, correct? It should make a little more power up top but at the cost of the lower rpm power loss and lag it may in fact be slower unless you are brake boosting the f*ck out of it or racing from 5200rpms-7000rpm. Powerbands do matter. Bigger is not always better.

I think Tial makes v band housings for Garrett turbos.
