just wondering if you guys think this would be ok... i have the obx manifold and hear that the biggest hotside that will fit is the .84.... i know this is a great turbo, but was thinking i wanted to just go a bit bigger with a 1.0... just wondering what you thought about using a flange for a spacer, and using two sets of gaskets... i suppose i could go to a machine shop and have them weld the spacer on, but i would just have to make sure they are the same material right?



thanks

i wanted to see what the turbo gurus on this board have to say.

 

oh ok. and EXCUSE me for trying to direct you to a thread on ANOTHER forum with the EXACT same question. and an answer from one of the most respected gurus to boot, marcus williams....

i will stay out of your way now.

 

whoa... don't get your panties in a bunch, thanks for the thread... i was just wondering if anyone had anything to say about it here. i don't know marcus williams, i think it is always good to try and get as many opinions as you can though. he is the only person who said the flange will warp, others have said it will be fine, i might get a custom flange made of the same stainless material to weld it to... i wasn't trying to be a dick, thanks for the link... just trying to get the most knowledge i can.....

Yes it will WORK, I've been running that for a while now.

 

eh, doesn't matter anymore, he decided to go with the smaller .84 hotside, so it should bolt up no prob.... thanks though
