Putting Together Your Own Turbo Kit????

Ok here the question i am going to use a GT3076R with a HAFE Manifold and O2 with a Megan Down Pipe. But i was thinking that i might want to try the Full-Race one that the O2 and Downpipe are one piece anyone have any input on fitment and if it would work

i think that it would work out. just make sure the turbo has the same 4-bolt pattern as the downpipe/o2 housing combo does.

yeah the only thing is that the Full-Race Mani Puts the turbo in a differant location higher or lower so it might change the location of the down pipe

It will almost definitely, NVM it will definitely not work, the full-race puts the turbo in a completely different location than the HAFE manifold.

LOL yeah that would wouldnt it yeah i am just weighting out my option and different combination and wanted to see if people ever try to experiment with different set ups . Hey Quick question guys the HAFE O2 Housing is it a 2.5 inch or a 3 inch at the four point mounting point. is there a difference in performance between a gt3076r with a 2.5 inch and a 3 inch hotside discharge????

theres a bit of a difference between the two but not really a big one. just exhaust flow would travel faster with the 3".

so according to Slowboy Racing Web Site it a 2.5" is it worth trying to find a 3" O2 or conventing the HAFE to a 3"

I know where theres a 4 bolt gently used 3082 my friend is upgrading his wrx to a 40r.

I'm sure the turbo had less than 5k miles on it

Just about every outlet is that big, you will have a hard time finding a real 3 inch one, just the way the cookie crumbles.

I didn't even know you could fit a 3" 02 housing and not have it hit the power steering pump. Also would depend on the back housing too. I like the DNP manifold. I suggest that and having a local shop fab you up a nice 02 housing and dump.
