Hey speedracer, I just had the same problem with my housing and flange. I had to contact the company that sold me the housing and they have that type of flange in stock. It came with stainless steel hardware too.
I'm not sure why the housings are like that, but the flange is just a bit larger than the normal 5 bolt. Contact these people and ask for a guy named Branden. techsupport@vsvperformance.com
Tell them your looking for the larger style 5 bolt flange. I think I paid about $20 for it, and they offered to pay for shipping and stuff. Good guy's to deal with.

bump?

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

did you look on ebay? i know they have em on there, i'm just not sure if it's the one you need, or the one you already have. email typert (look for him in the classified or on the member list), he's the one that sells flanges, or bmc racing on the classifieds page also.

coo
yeh i bought one off ebay and wheni went home to test fit
it was the wrong one. if two of the holes match the other three won't

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

The 5 bolt flanges off a volvo turbo work, that's what im using right now.

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

hell yeah-i bought one with a internal wastegate-thinking all t3 t4 O2 housings will fit and it didn't fit-had to fabricate another downpipe-luckily i had one from a volvo that I just cut and welded together-save me a couple of hours

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

i htought roadrace sold the smaller 5 bolt flange but maybe im wrong i cant even remember where i bought the one in the picture.

sounds like i';;l be checking local junkyard for volvo's
if anyone knows any palces
it would be appreciated
thanx

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

Sorry for my ignorance, but can you better explain the difference beetween the two things in the pic? I can't really see, as far as I can tell they look the same ::)

I have a volvo turbo, and I used a "normal" 5-bolt blockoff flange, so if the one you have doesn't work, volvo isn't what your looking for...!

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

if you look at the nice shiny on onthe left
it has a straight side
nice and flat..theat's the one i have and it doesn't fit

the one onthe rightis the one i need. Beau said on this turbo setup he did that found out that it didn't fit( as shown inthe picture). That's why he has the other one welded to the downpipe and not the nice shiny one. the one on the right has a little curve if you look next to the properly positioned middle finger;)
cause that's how i feel right now

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

Hey speed racer, if you want, I will contact that guy Branden I told you about and see if he's got any more. The one they sent me fit mine perfectly. I know exactly what your going through... I had bought 2 5 bolt flanges that everyone said would fit, and they didn't... They were both off just a ---- hair. So like I said, let me know, and I'll talk to this guy about the flange. He'll probably cut you a deal with shipping or something.
Email me at chevyk20@lycos.com if your interested.

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

that would be great man
thanx
i'd really appreciate it.
(BMCRacing said they don't make a flange for it right now
i'd have to send them my exhaust side or trace it.
so they could get the measurements.)

Re:T3 flange doesn't fit????
 

Ok then I'll talk to him right away and get back to you. :)
