Re: T-Bird downpipe flange

if it is an IHI it is not a t3. also the t3 uses a different flange than that.

? He never said it was a T3, it's definitely an IHI turbo.

And why are you asking us if the measurements are right? You have the turbo right in front of you.

Well it's dimensioned incorrectly, I can tell you that much. I don't mean the actual dimensions are wrong though.

Yes. Don't dimension anything off another dimension. Use a common reference point, because you increase the margin of error when you dimension the way you did.

Hey, zetec boosting fellow!

Yes it's a IHI 51t21, basically a ihi rhb5 just like the probe/MX6 with same turbine wheel but a 2mm LARGER compressor wheel. It's actually a nice turbo although the shaft is T25 sized and much flimsier than a T3.

I do have the factory cast iron O2 housing that fits it if you want. It's yours for the price of shipping.
