    Nice write up now can you go into the difference between on center and tangental housings and the A/R sizes I just scored a pair of old TO4s cheap 54mm comp p trim exhaust but they have on center .96 housings on them old style bolt on downpipe flange I know I'm going to have to change them for .68s or .81s

    Back to back testing on a 70 series turbo from 3 bolt to 4 bolt produced 30-40 rhwp improvement, depending on boost levels.

    If you were building scratch headers for a Turbo6 in a custom application (like I'm probably going to do eventually) which would you recommend using as the flange? I'm guessing 4 bolt is going to win due to wider selection but I could very well be wrong.

    Thanks,

    If your going to be paying for a downpipe/ext wastegate and headers go directly to the tangential 4 bolt housing.

    Already have an external gate and custom downpipe. I'll be building this stuff myself.

    Curious if the guy above whith the turbo figured out what his is for ? It look's like my exact set up on my 83 T Type ? I also can not seem to find any info or pic's of how the vacumm lines run or go to on my 83 Buick T Type carb I just got this car and there some vacumm lines not hooked up & I can't seem to locate any link's to lead me in the right direction ? Maybe any 1 who has this year or has knowledge in all year turbo buick's ? I'm also looking for where I can find a replacement actuator mine is suppose to be a dual port ? & the 1 I have is a single port not factory can this work and wich 1 of the 2 port line's get's used and what happens to the other 1 sorry this is all new to me ?

    Wow! Now a question I have not seen asked here is what about the difference in flow from a .63 housing to the .83 or is .85 on the 3 bolt :confused:
    Sorry if this is off topic I was just wondering as Im looking at a new BB Turbo not wanting to step up to the 4 bolt flange. Maybe it will help others as well. If I need a new post just let me know.
    Thanks
