t3/t4 question

[exzercist]

I have looked for a t3/t4 Garrett turbo an i cant find one. the only ones i found are the bullseye turbo which are bolt on and will fit the stock manifold. i dont know how reliable these are or if anyone has one. this means its not a true t3/t4 turbo right. because i know t3.t4 have a square inlet where the manifold meets the turbo. where can i find a regular t3/t4 with the same o2 housing exhaust flange but with the square inlet? if i get one of those will i have to dent in the water pipe and get electric fans? because for the bullseye you do not have to. the only sites under t3/t4 turbos in the parts section is dsmmotorsport and slowboy. Is there anywhere else?

With a true t3/t4 youre going to have to get a t3 ex manifold or an adapter plate for your stock mani. Alot of shops will have t3/t4s and mitsu hybrids. There are different style turbine housings so that will depends on your o2 housing selection.

yeah i have a t3 manifold thats not on my car yet but i cant find a garrett one except those two shops. and i do want a turbo that will fit the o2 housing but have a t3 ex flange.

If you know what size turbo you want you should be able to call any shop and theyll tell you what turbine housing you will need and can help you pick all the stuff you need.

Does the flange for the o2 housing need to have 4 bolts and made for an ext wastegate or do you not know what style you need?

i already have the turbo actually... it's a t3/t4 50 trim. It is 5 bolts made for an external wastegate. So I should just call a shop then? And one more question I just came across another problem a second ago while working on the car. The stainless header I got to fit the t3/t4 is too large.. there isn't enough clearance between the fan and the head for the header to fit. Do i need to get the slimline fans then or are there any other options? Thanks..

You need slimline fans on a 5 trim to fit. You should be able to find an 02 housing that will for the 5bolt and will work with your intended application.

Thank you sooo much flinguist that'll probably be the one I go with. I've searched all night and that's the only one I've found (and I didn't even find it )

and about the fans.. can I just go with the slimline on the a/c compresser side? or would that just be stupid?
