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.

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.
