Quick turbo compatibility question w/pic

Don't taze me bro!
To bolt a turbo onto our stock headers does it just have to be a T3 5bolt like the one pictured below? It looks that same as the T3/T4 hybrid that's in mine now I just want to make sure. Thanks

Re: Quick turbo compatibility question w/pic

the t3 side will fit our manifold and headers since its a four bolt rectangular pattern.. The downpipe flange could be 5 bolt 4bolt and or 3 bolt. The question is will it match up to your downpipe? I believe your turbo setup is a bit diffrent since motormouth decided to go a diffrent route. Stock syty have a 3 bolt downpipe. Pte downpipe are very smilar to the picture but have four bolts.

When you say they have a 3 bolt.... is that just the downpipe? In other words.. three for the downpipe and two for the wastegate? So in other words, like the picture I posted.

I'll see if I can get him to chime in so I know for sure.

Re: Quick turbo compatibility question w/pic

well that pic has nothing to do with the headers.

its 3 for the downpipe, we don't have a wastegate with our stock turbo setup...so 3 bolts all together to connect the downpipe to the turbo.

4 bolts to connect the turbo to the manifold

Re: Quick turbo compatibility question w/pic

I realize it has nothing to do with the manifolds but am 99% sure that it has a T3 flange.

I'm more concerned about the downpipe/wastegate outlet on the turbo to assure I get the right turbo. I'm pretty sure based on what I could see from the top of the turbo that the picture I posted above is the same as the turbo in my truck but I wanted to make sure before I ordered a turbo.

Motormouth did a custom downpipe/wastegate setup so I need to get with him to find out but I'm pretty sure it's a T3 5 bolt that's in there. Thanks for the help fellas.

I felt behind the turbo and feel five 12pt bolts so I would say it's safe to say it's a T3 5 bolt. I guess I was pretty sure it was but wanted someone else to tell me this was correct.

Re: Quick turbo compatibility question w/pic

Thanks for the pics/help. Chelo helped me out a bunch via PMs and I think I have the confirmation I needed. Now to decide if I should swap out this T3/T4 for a GT35R or not. Hmmm....
