T3 clearance issues(gurus please)
hello everybody
after a long struggle i decided to sell my tiny garrett t15 and go with a T3.
but now i think i have clearance issue with the turbo/block . i didnt test fit that setup yet but i was wondering what you think.?
i dont want to flip the turbo because i want to keep my a/c,
i need the compressor side of the turbo on passenger side so i can keep my a/c.(slim fan is not a problam and i have planty of room for a nice downpipe between the turbo and the a/c compressor)
this is my turbo/manifold setup
could i keep the a/c?(slim fan is no problam)
best regards moshik galimidi

You could try to use one of those spacers that go between the manifold and the head to move the turbo further out. I believe BMC sells them?

im talking about this post where you were asking about clearance on your t3 and keeping ac with your hf manifold, much like the question you're asking now.

do you not need an adapter plate?

no he's saying its gonna take forever to spool, and you're only gonna have 2000rpm's of range actually in boost. he probably has a pretty valid point on a 1.4L engine, thats tiny.
i would just ditch the ac, its not that bad and you can make a few bucks.

is this turbo worth the effort of this whole project?
