Shaving down compressor housing flange?
 

Just bought this turbo from crx2211 and I am wondering if anyone has ever tried to shave the compressor discharge flange down so its round and just running a coupler on it....maybe grind it as smooth as possible then weld a tig bead around the end?

ive seen it done before but they just cut that flange off and then welded another 2inches or aluminum tubing on it

you can also buy an extension for it that screws into the outlet and gives room to clamp a coupler down. I have teh same outlet on my turbo and thats what i used... i think they may have been from ford thunderbirds?

I used a 35/38mm wastegate flange ;) I slotted the wholes on the side and it works like a charm...easiest way other then getting the correct flange cut... O0
