Garrett gtx3576r: Anyone ever gone with the 4" inlet 2" outlet option... instead of just getting the direct replacement??

 

I would avoid since its not really meant for our cars.

 

I mean.. it's a direct bolt up to an evo x hotside.. soo what other car is it made for??

 

Well the stock version yes, but the upgraded of what your asking was not meant for the cars per the website. Website link below for my reference, if im misunderstanding that then my apologies, but from what it says it looks like just stay without that option.

"the special comp housing with 4" inlet and 2" outlet with hose connection (non Evo X style)"

Well I guess I'll let you guys know how it goes!

 

It's just the normal Garrett comp housing and not the evo x style comp housing.

This means it won't have the bolt on flange for the intercooler elbow.

You will have to find a proper silicon elbow or make a metal one.

It looks like this:



Instead of this:

 

Oh I know what it looks like.. I got one sitting next to me.. just wondering if anyone has gone through the effort of putting one in yet.. lol

 

I was responding to the other people in this thread.

 

458hp 357ftlbs @ the wheels.. tuned by rob @ kaizen

 

Did you go with a welded on elbow or silicone? Also was the turbine housing sourced from ATP ? That dyno plot is amazing. 200lb-ft on or under 3,500 rpm AND making basically 460hp at the wheels is a frigging perfect setup.

Hey man thanks! I'm very happy with it... As far as the elbow... Turbo comes with a 90 degree 2 to 2.5 in silocone coupler for the outlet... So I used that. And for the inlet got a 4 inch to 3.5 inch 45 degree silicone coupler... All seems to be working fine!

 

And the turbine housing? Was this bolted to the stock manifold so you used an ATP turbine or do you have a tubular setup (T4 perhaps) ?

I imagine the motivation for going this route was money saved - do you mind explaining how that worked out? As far from a results standpoint, it was def a win

It's the atp gtx3576r so the hotside is stock location... Mainly because I had already bought a down pipe.. And as far as the manifold I have a jet hot coated full race manifold.. I was advised by a local tuner to go with the bolt on gtx3576r and when I went to order it saw the option for the 4 inch inlet 2 inch outlet compressor housing.. it was the same price so I figured I'd give it a shot..
