16g Flange and I searched
 
Ok he is the thing. I got a RAnk1RAcing RAmhorn manifold with a IHI RHB5 turbo flange. I want to get a Big 16g but i cant find any adapter flanges. The car is a Z6 Del Sol. Should I just scrap the Big 16g and just get a T3 .48/.60 ? Is that a T3 Super 60??? Someone help me.

The 16g pretty much uses the same flange as the tdo5h 14b. Honestly I wouldn't try to get an adapter for it, by the time you mount the manifold, adapter, and then the turbo, it's gonna hang way too low. Even a HF manifold with adapter to a 14b sits pretty damn low, and my cutom made log manifold to 16g just barely sits a little higher than the HF/14b on my LS. Either get a different turbo, or a different manifold.

14b and 16g are the same size. shouldnt be any differance on how low it sits on an hf manifold.

No, it is not.

Most of what is sold as a Super 60, isn't. They are pretty old-ass design, and for the money they run you could have a larger T04E compressor.

That's if he uses a HF manifold...he was talking about trying to use his ramhorn with an adapter plate and then the 16g. I was just saying i didn't like how low the 14b and 16g both sit with just the HF/adapter combo. Usually a pretty tight bend on the oil return line.
