We got one of these with a kit off ebay, they are designed for a truck where the dumppipe is a cast piece with like a piston ring arrangement that attached to the manifold. I was going to turn up a flange and drill and tap the ex housing to attach said flange, but the turbo was nothing special, so i didn't end up bothering. If you really want to run this turbo, you could send me the housing and i can get a mate to turn up a dump pipe flange that will fit it, and then drill and tap the housing

it's a truck turbo no doubt about it. that type of dump attachment is not really used on passenger cars. I hope you bought it for your truck.

yeh were u going to run one of these turbos? it looks like a pretty good turbo given the exhaust side will flow really well, where are u located? and any idea how much to make the flange and drill/tap it?

Dude, that housing is something that would suit a rotor... not something for a piston motor. Miles too large.

Simply, you should have done some research before handing over your cash as you've been had well totally...

This is yet another unfortunate example that you shouldnt buy performance parts off ebay if you dont know 110% what they are.

To solve this you can do one of two things.

1) Take it to a turbo specialist and have them try source a much smaller housing that will suit the application if you wish to keep it.

Or

2) My personal opition, put it in the bin. Buy a turbo thats designed for a piston motor to start with.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
