Default T3

For People w/ T3 50 Trim .42/.48

How did yall make your flange or brought the flange for the downpipe? I can only find downpipe flanges that fits 60 trims only. Anyone got pics of their downpipe and their flange, please post it up. Thanks

My Saab .48/.42 I used a cast factory elbow. It fits nicely.

Yea, i tried the sabb elbow, it fits, but the outlet is like 45degrees towards the block, so there is no room for a downpipe. Anyone with the 3 bolt flange on the T3 50 Trim .42/.48, trying to keep my swing valve

wjy dont you just weld your down pipe to the wastegate swing valve ***. cover and not use the cast piece.Ive seen plenty of down pipes riged like that.They hold pretty well.

Yea, i was planning on doing that but it is way easier to take off 3 bolts then the 5 swing valve bolts off, cause i heard the 5 bolt is a pain in the *** to unscrew off

well if you have that cast Saab 90* and a grinder with a cut off wheel,why not just cut the flange off the cast elbow and weld the down pipe to that?

This is HMT.No problem goes unsolved

You're not going to find one. I looked for over 6 months. No one had them. I had one CNC machined for me. I'd see if Aaron can do it for you. PM weirRacing on here / look at his for sale thread. If not, I got mine from BmC Racing on here as well, but I think he's busy making manifolds right now, so it might take longer to get.
