I've seen 2 different type of 5-bolt housings, a 3-bolt, and I'm sure others exist.

theres this one with the 5bolt and 3 bolt flat dp flangehttp://memimage.cardomain.net/member...661714_111.jpg
and theres ones with 5 bolt and 3 bolt tapered dp flange

HOWEVER

the flange patterns arent the same.. my new ex housing gate section wont bolt onto my old t3.

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

so some of the ex housing have seperate gate sections too?

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

ya.. some of the saab t3's have a hot side thats cast with the gate inside. then youd have to get a whole new housing if the gate cracks. i bought mine off ebay and has the 5 bolt removeable gate section from the turbine housing itself.

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

so you can take an externel gate T3 and add a internal gate housing??

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

Just to throw a curve ball, a Nissan T3 has a fucked up 7 bolt flange.

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

Yeah, the nissan 7 bolts T3 turbine is my preferred. I use it a lot.
The 7 bolts design is superior and as opposed the the 5 bolts ones, the 7 bolts ones RARELY crack across the dump hole.
it's 0.63 a/r though....Sadly, No 0.48 version of this turbine.

That's a blaastperformance t3/T04B 0.63/0.60, 63 "V" Trim. The quickest spooling (non-BB) 400HP turbo I know of.

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

they have the 5 bolt, 7 bolt, 3 bolt etc (grand nationals/buick T-type), but the mopar 5 bolt is different from the ford 5 bolt. I think there is a bigger version of the ford 5 bolt around somewhere too.

Re: ???? about T3 exhaust housings
 

yeah, the larger 5 holes pattern is rare. I think it's from the last batches of t3 saabs.
They obviously are much improved from the standard ford 2.3/saab t3 turbo
It's pictured at the very top of this thread. The picture on the right...
