Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) garrett 4in downpipe

[KBurgoyne]

seems the garrett turbos come with a 3in downpipe for a straight swap in, but the 3in is a major restriction and causes very high drive pressures. #@$%! is there a company out there that makes a custom 4in downpipe for the garrett gt37r stage 3 turbo. i heard about source automotive having a part like that, but was unable to locate it.

if not and you have a 4in downpipe on your garrett, which shop did the work for you and how much was it just so i have a general idea if i need to have one built by a local shop.

thanks

I just emailed Tom on the very same question, since I just bought a Garrett BB turbo. Tom was out Friday but hoping to hear back Monday.

Are you saying you can't find Source's contact info? www.http://sourceautomotive.biz/

i contacted turbo resource by e-mail and am waiting to hear back from them. about how much would a stage 3 with downpipe from them cost.



source auto didnt have the part. they had what they called a raw part that could be welded to a 4in connector.

damn i wanna get this turbo in and floor it. expecially since i just got my "i heart my carbon footprint" sticker in the mail. :-laf

Tom wrote me and said they don't have a bolt-on adapter, but you can send in the exhaust housing and they'll do the machining and welding to change it to a HX40 flange for about $150.

does turbo resource sell the modified turbos as a package or do they just take in and modify turbos. why cant someone make a 500 horse ball bearing turbo that doesnt require hoops to jump through like a turbonetics stage 1. 5#@$%!

The turbos TRS sells are ready to drop in, and they do some modification on the comporessor side as well compared to the off-the-shelf Garretts that you normally find.
