turbine outlet/wastegate...Z6 + thunderbird T3
im fabbing up a turbo kit for a friend using a d16z6 in an EF hatch. STD manifold, BMC adapter plate, and .60/.48 T3 from a thunderbird. The problem im having and i know its common as i've seen it before, but anyways, the stock turbine outlet/o2 housing/wastegate flapper points directly at the block. I believe there is a stock outlet from another T3 that bolts on and routes the downpipe downward.. can anybody tell me what it is and where to get it?
I had originally planned to run an external wastegate, but since im using the STD manifold and dont want to weld to cast to create wastegate dump, i want to use the stock flapper wastegate.
what turbine outlet do i use?

Re:turbine outlet/wastegate...Z6 + thunderbird T3
the saab one fits.
i had one that julio is using on his tbird turbo.
you could use an external wastegate, connecting it where the flapper hole is. you would need a plate with the hole.

all 2.3L fords except a few select years of tbird used the 60 trim t3... just depends on what year tbird... soem had the IHI some had the 60 trim... easiest way to tell is looking at the turbine housing...

good luck finding a Saab T3 swingvalve assy. You need to do this HMT stylez, cut off the exhaust housing about 2 inches and just weld the downpipe right onto the cast housing,
like so
Be sure you have some type of flex section in the exhaust system somewhere, and use alot of heat when you weld mild steel to cast, and it will be fine.
