Looks like plenty of room to run a pipe... probably not enough to mount an HX55, though.

He has 4.9 liters of air to push through it. Yes, the ---- will spool.

as of now, it's not going to spool until i find what flange is on there... since its NOT a ------- t4 flange. t5? t66? i cant find any specs to check it on.

also, my intake apparently had a cracked #1 runner flange, it cracked the ear off into the port of the intake, or it was bad casting. that's twice ive had a ford i6 flange ear crack off..

complex at a guess T6. is it a large T3 shaped undivided flange? pics, measurements?

no such thing as t5 or t66 flanges. t5 is a 5spd rwd tranny, and the t66 is one of the larger t4 frame garrett compressor wheels.

dan.
