turbo manifold
Turbo Mini Forums

So this has probably been asked a thousand times but I'm looking in to changing my manifold so I don't have to cut the bulk head out. I'm going to run the t3 but if I was to go for the log style manifold can I still use the t3 to miss the bulk head or will it be to big? Also would it be bad that the air filter would sit behind the enigne would it be bringing in warm air?

The other option I have been thinking about is going with the side mount. This way the air filter would be right next to grill and less pipe work for an intercooler would this be the better way?
Any help would be appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out over this atm.

The T3 will not fit between the bulkhead and engine.

Why are you insistent to run the t3?

T2 or gt17 easy to pick up cheap and will fit no bother!

Ok thank you Will this is what I thought.

Jonny I've been so undicided on what to do I have been looking at gt17 on ebay. Do you think that's my best option the gt17 with log manifold?

Gt17 and a log style manifold.

Onto a winner definitely!

Get shut of the babba T3 its big smelly and old.

Ok so ill kick the t3 out of touch well stick it on good old ebay! What do you think I should try to sell it for?
Also I've been in contact with Matt fusions a d thinking of getting his twin side mount I believe it gives around 15 bhp more with out winding up the turbo if you could a ford it would you go for it?

Oh also is it just the gt1752 from a Saab? As I've seen others from vitos and so on. Don't want to buy the wrong one!

You can buy new Chinese Copies nowadays for not much money. And yes its the Gt1752 just make sure its got the correct flange. Not the crazy triangle ones.

Ah ok do have a picture of the type I need? I did see the Chinese ones but wasn't to sure on how good they are? I had been told to go for a good secondhand one

Im sure I remember someone using one with no issues. Its the Saab Type you want.

Although some saabs came with another type of turbo altogether t2s or something.
