[HKS_25T]

Hey ive searched heaps about this but answers are usually ... Jus but the whole turbo from garrett blah blah

anyway I , if i choose can get a brand new OEM XR6 GT3540 dirt cheap from Ford with the .5 Comp Cover but if i get it ide like to swap the 1.06exhaust housin to a .8x housing.. (non internal gated)

I need a yes or no answer as if this is possible.

.5 Comp cover with .106 exhaust housing into a >>> .5 comp cover and .8x exhaust housing (ill buy from garrett).

pls help i jus need a simple yes or no cuz most of the topics i found have mixed answers..

ummm, go to a garrett distributer and order a brand new GT3540 with a 0.6 compressor cover, and a Externally gated Exhaust housing and it should cost you about $1500 at the most.

Unless you are getting the ford one cheaper than say $800, I'd just get a real one.

.6 Comp cover, sounds like a nice mid point .. ill look into it.

ps. i didnt know they had .6 i thought they only had .7x cuz thats all i saw on their site and the .5 was only on XR6 ones.

The std comp cover on a GT3582R is a 0.70 A/R T04S family housing , the one on the Ford XR6 type turbo is a 0.50 A/R T04E family housing .

I agree - changing the housings on a brand new turbocharger may not be a cheap exercise and more expensive than just buying that turbo with suitable housings .

Shop around and see what a complete unit to your liking costs .

If I was you i would buy the turbo direct from Garrett with the housings you want that being said I have a spare .5 compressor for sale if you end up getting one off the shelf somewhere with a .7 front cover
