I have a t3/t4 with a 4 bolt housing on my RevHard, and it will not clear the front brake line/port on the bmc with the downpipe flange and bolt. what are my options? here are my possible solutions:
1. 5 bolt housing and stock bmc
2. 4 bolt housing and z32 bmc (it has a front nub but not the brake line at the front like stock)
3. 5 bolt housing and z32 bmc
please let me know if you KNOW something does or does not work. where can i buy just the garrett 5 bolt housing if needed? i need this like yesterday.
(i have a blown 5 bolt turbonetics and it cleared no problem. that is my basis for the 5 bolt option. i am not sure if garrett has a drastically different 5 bolt housing.)
RevHard Clearance Options. HELP!!!

yeah, i tried that. they are not the same. i called peak boost yesterday and asked them if the housing difference was a part of the way they are made. they confirmed 4 bolt housings sit about an inch out further than 5 bolt housings. who knew? not me. hope this helps someone else out there.2point4turbo wrote:the blown turbo and the new turbo. compare the exhaust/turbine specs. if there the same swap housings. it will bolt right on, just gota make sure the specs are the same.

use a on-center turbine housing turbo. will work just fine with plenty of extra room for a downpipe. if you don't know what on-center means...look up on-center t04b's. older turbo designs but a lot of times they are on-center turbine housings.
if you dont like that choice..sell your revhard and have someone make a log manifold for cheap or buy one from JGS or custom.

on center housings are the only way to make a t4 fit on a revhard. a t3 will fit just not the standard 4 bolt housing. there are not many on center t3 options out there.Craving4Boost wrote:use a on-center turbine housing turbo. will work just fine with plenty of extra room for a downpipe. if you don't know what on-center means...look up on-center t04b's. older turbo designs but a lot of times they are on-center turbine housings.

It would not have taken much casting difference to make the revhard more genericly useable. It could have been a perfect (almost) equal length style mani?
