Just to make things clear

This is a 4 bolt


This is a 5 bolt (ford style)



EDIT:
Yeah i forgot to mention we use the 5 bolt style for an OEM turbo

I'm just curious as to why you "need" a 5 bolt housing the only percievable benefit would be that it keeps the stock 02 outlet and downpipe.

The kits i've seen for a gt35R have a flange style outlet and usually come with all the hardware, manifold, downpipe,wastegate...


BTW its a pretty well known fact that the 5 bolt housing is more restrictive than a 4 bolt or flange style.

reason being is the measurements on the manifold were taken incorrectly and the only way to add a 3" DP is to remove the AC. This is a One-off kit.

Did you know that Shearer Fabrications claims more power with the 5 bolt of the 4?

Thats cool that shearer can make more power with the 5 bolt

Sucks that you didn't get the proper manifold measurements.

I looked through garrett's main site and didn't find and option for a 5 bolt, maybe someone makes a custom housing

wish I would have seen this sooner as I have an extra .63 5-bolt housing sitting around I would have let.

I don't know how much truth there is to the 5-bolts being less capable then the 4-bolts. It makes sense that the 5-bolt should spool slower since its more 'on-center'. However if you look at the GT35r spool up thread you'll see my 5-bolt housing on my bone stock 2.0 is spooling like a 2.3l stroker down low... so how knows for sure.
