Is there a parts list for a conversion to at t3t4 conversion from the IHI? I bought a 50 trim t3t4 then found out I needed a different rear down elbow from a t3. Then realized I needed a different oil return line. After lining everything up now the hood wont shut and the front intercooler bracket wont line up or able to use the exhaust manifold bracket......am I doing something wrong ????
I did notice the the t3 exhaust outlet is 3/16 smaller in outlet diameter than the IHI. And the stud spacing is also wider than the IHI but it still bolted up to the Stinger down pipe. I found it strange the smaller turbo ihi with a smaller exhaust wheel had a larger I'd down elbow.
I'm not real familiar with how the IHI is set up, but I know that the compressor housing on a T3/T4 is significantly larger than a baby IHI, which is going to push your top-mount up. I don't know if there is any way to correct that or not. How much clearance do you need? Might need some surgery on the IC... :dunno:

I can tell you that on my car, which started life with a T3, the T3/T4 was a direct swap without having to change anything else on the car. That being the case, I think THIS ARTICLE could be of some assistance to you.
Do you know of any one who takes off the ramair plastic for the intercooler ? Im guessing im going to have to get a front mount intercooler from Stinger.......
My ramair system is off and I'll second the FMIC. I have a new FMIC on the shelf waiting for install with a new turbo.
I've thought about when I get a fmic I was going to fab a piece to use the scoops for the air inlet for the turbo.
How much rain water do you get in the engine compartment when driving without The plastic ram air in place ?
I thought "B" would answer that for me! My car doesn't go out in the rain!
:pimp:
