HI can anybody help i have got a cossie t4 turbo to put on my rs turbo as i was going to zvh or zetec it but im thinking of selling the car now its got a 1.6 cvh in but was wondering if i could use the cossie turbo and change the exhaust housing and fit a standard housing on the t4

Basically no, sell the T4 and pick up a standard RST T3.
In fact if you do go that route let me know how much you want for the T4 as I have a nice 3.0 that I'll be turboing soon and that might do nicely.

Ah so it's not a T4, it's a T3! lol
Yeah you can fit it as is, will be a bit laggy but will work fine.

so would a standard exhaust housing fit on that t3 mate so it wont be laggy

It would but that's a terrible combination! lol
You'll have a massive 60 trim comp wheel and a tiny little .36 housing, you'll probably get surge and it still won't be that responsive.

i have checked the comp wheel housing mate and its .42 stamped on it

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yes it will be just the same, Cossie one is also .48
EDIT Because I was thinking about the wheel trim being 60.
Both 2wd and 4wd have AR 42 housings.

im sure its a cossie 1 mate as its bigger than a standard t3 rs turbo 1 its got .42 stamped on the comp housing and .48 on the exhaust housing and the exhaust housing is a cossie 1 as my downpipe wont fit and its got a cossie actuator on as the rod arm is longer

2wd and 4wd turbos are different

Put a few pics up mate a 4x4 T3 has two bolt holes on the comp housing for the actuator bracket.
Sorry I made a mistake they are both AR 42 so that dosnt help! lol I was thinking about the comp wheel being 60 trim.

I think the exhaust housing can be swapped to an escort turbo one...?

how do you post pics up i have had a look at it and their are 2 bolts on the comp housing that hold the actuator so would it be ok to put a standard rs turbo exhuast housing on it
