Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Chrome PDI manifold w/ T3-T4 flange?

[RIT]

Howdy Y'all..... I am getting ready to replace the factory exhaust manifold on my old beast. I am looking at the PDI unit from Pure Diesel Power with chrome finish and having them port it. What is a T4 flange? This is an expensive setup. I plan to upgrade the turbo to a SPS 62 and want to make sure that I get the proper flange. How good is the basic finish on the PDI and is the chrome finish worth the additional bucks? Has anyone seen the chrome version and does the chrome flake off over time? Thanks... .

Don`t waste the money on chrome! If they have a high temp BLACK coating thats what you want. they may also offer a high temp silver?

Need a little advice please.

I could use some information on the T4 flange. What is the difference between the stock manifold and a 3 piece with a T4 flange? I currently have a stock turbo and would to be able to upgrade soon. I have read that a T4 flows better but will it bolt right up or will I need an adapter of some sort? Please forgive my ignorance but I just want to make an informed purchase before I break an ear off of my head. My #1 and #6 bolts are bent so I need to purchase a replacement quickly. Thanks

The stock turbo will not bolt to the T4 flange. I'm not sure what flange SPS 62 has. I can't imagine there is an adapter that will bolt right up. I have an ATS 3 piece and their black paint of powder coat (not sure) is starting to rust after about a year. Doesn't bother me though. Hope this helps.
