When you post pics of the turbo next to a china gate, I get the feeling I know why holes aren't lining up. :l

Ummm, Well SPA was the only company that had any helpfull input. The housing isnt a SPA unit but they do copy the newer Garrett 5 bolt turbine housing. The Housing I bought was a brand new Garrett part.... and damn it JD, Ive rocked ching chong gates in almost all my builds w/ out a prob... thanx for pointing out my jew spending habits. :'(

Well, from my research so far.... a mercedes 5 bolt flange fits a ford unit.... but this is what i read online so...

So I finally found it.... I guess I have a "large frame" T3 housing, not the standard. Just in case anyone else runs into the same prob as me, MC-MOTORSPORTS.com sells the flange. Just a lil pricey at $35 shipped. Im glad I could be the guinee pig on this. ::)

Don't ------- lie to me, I know you've run sweet internally gated turbos before; I bought a 6 psi gate off of you a couple years back. (Vouch)

I haven't seen the china gates be anywhere near as shitty as the china turbos, but they do have issues. Just keep your eye on it and it should be fine.

So... demand MC-Motorsports tell you wtf this large flange turbo comes on. Wierd nobody's heard of it before.

holy fawking ----! they are a bit pricey, but just for shits n giggles, i checked out their store/ebay store... they make a mother ------- 7 bolt downpipe flange for the whack ass nissan turbo!!! im amazed. i ended up just welding straight to the stock cast peice instead, but when i redo my downpipe, i can actually have a real flange.

good find!!!

------ JD, surprised you still remember that internal gate I sold you. Wasnt it JDM black? :P And yes Ive run a T25 and T3 internal setup before. The only ext. gate ive had take a dump on me was a deltagate, the spring broke and tore the diaphram(spelling?). So far Ive had luck w/ china gates... so far.

Ill be sure to find out what the deal is w/ the large frame housing. It is interesting im the first to come across this.

No, it was a super clean OEM anodized that had been hit with silver spray paint by someone with a fair degree of rattle can mastery. I still have it, haven't used it yet.
