Turbo damper help.......please read
Right i have just fitted a escos head onto my 2wd saff after finding some cracks in mine but as you know the escos head does not have the extra bit on the side for the standard 2wd damper to fit......
Am i right in saying the 4wd saff does not have one as the turbo is small enough not to need one but what about the big turbo escos as this runs a t34 do they hav some sort of damper on them i could use?????????
at the min i am useing a stage 3 turbo technics t3 which is more like a t34..
Or will i need to spend some cash and get a after market one

its mainly down to the manifold, if your still using a 2wd manifold, you will need a damper, and most people go for the bailets hanger item, or there is the spec R 500 style one.
If your runninga 4wd manifold u can get away without using one, but probably wouldnt advise it as your not running a standard turbo.

Or you could cut the damper bracket off the old 2wd head and weld it on the 4x4 head. Mike R has done it on his small turbo head and look factory
