Downpipe Flange
 

im going to order a new exhaust flange for my t3 .42 .48 from Bmcrace.com but i dont know which flange i need... there are five bolts on the turbo so i'm left with two options:
3 Garrett (Mercedes) 5 bolt $24 ea
T3 Turbonetics (Precision and newer Garrett) 5 bolt $22 ea
how can i know which one is for my turbo?
here is a pic of my turbo's exhaust side:

i hope it helps

ill remove the one installed at the moment(seen in the picture) because its too thick leaving me no enough room to use a better downpipe

Re: Downpipe Flange
 

just an ordinary plane jane 5 bolt t3 flange.

You will need a dual tube split style DP. That may be a task to make.

there isnt an ordinary one in the options of bmcrace or maybe there is and i dont know why it could be related to a mercedes?

yeah ill get that done at a shop

I'm guessing here, but I assume your going to be using the internal gate right? well if thats so, you cant use a 5 bolt flange and make a dual tube split, because the swing valve is apart of the stock 5 bolt housing.

We just did a setup with a internal gate T3 setup, and the flange you need is the 3bolt 2.5

You can get them here:
