Turbo to replace T34.63
 
As title, think I'm going to need to find a turbo to replace mine as exhaust housing is cracked at wastegate seat. Cannot get a housing for love nor money. Is there a turbo that bolts straight on using old manifold and 3 bolt exhaust flange or is it gonna have to be v-band route. Cars running 380 bhp cheers. 👍

turbo technics sell housings new iirc around £250

Nice one, spoke to them yesterday morning and chap said they don't do them anymore so called them again today and spoke to someone else, result, they can make a housing for 350 to replace mine but they have half persuaded me to go down T36.55 route as only 300 more and I can wind my boost down a bit then as peaks at 32.5 . So the next question anyone had any experience with a T36.55 ����

Sure Jay has had a t36 on his 4x4

james kiely 13-04-2017 10:16 PM

t36 is a better turbo :grin:

the borg warner is better again but you will need a manifold ,and depends really what you want from your car

Speak to Vince at turbo performance before making any decisions.

I've pm'd Jay cheers Adam. Can't justify borg route(even thought I'd like to ;-)) as to get the best out of them you need to go stand alone ecu, harness/manifold ect works out 6-7 grand. Tbf I'd stick with what I have if I could get another housing but running 380bhp/455ft lb at 32.5 I maybe need to think about a bit lower boost in the long run. I'm deffo gonna do some research first, cheers for the headsup

380 & 455 lbft. I should think it goes quite well at that. If you go T36 let us know how you get on.

Hud Broad 14-04-2017 07:52 AM

Yeh when running right :king:

Adam-M 14-04-2017 04:46 PM

That's crazy torque are you sure it's lbft and not NM?
