I've got a T34 turbo thats had an ERST .48 exhaust housing put on it to keep the RST downpipe (big mistake I know, should have gone for a Cossie housing ). Thing is am I going to have problems mounting an actautor now?

It's something I've only just thought about. I remebered seeing several T34's with the brackets chopped off and others put on. Don't want to chop the T34 bracket off though. SHould have gone for a cossie housing!!!!

what would you have to do to fit the cossie housing as its on my shopping list lol everyone says to use a 4x4 cossie turbo thats a stage 1 or 2 i will get high 200s as my stage 3 t3 will only do 250/260bhp ... what down pipe would we i need?

muz, just use the escort rs turbo actuator bracket, should be fine aslong as the housing doesn't get spun round too much.
you really should have fitted a cossie housing though, flow better, A/R 0.48 or bigger will give loads more power with a bit more lag.
i made my own bracket for my 4wd cossie tubo though from some 5mm steel, works a treat.

you'd need to make a new downpipe or modify a cossie one, a single pipe is best to use for modifying, not the one that splits into two.
