T3 flanged greddy 1.6L manifold??
Has anyone done it? The td04h 15g I have has a bit of play and I would like to either rebuild it before installing or just step up to a t3 by changing the flange off the greddy manifold to a t3 or by just getting the t25 to t3 adapter as seen in ebay. If anyone has done it what spec turbo did you use and which method?

Wheel spins fine but has excessive play. When you wiggle the shaft you are only a few thousands of an inch away from the side casing. If not rebuilt the fins will eventually hit the side walls and have to be replaced as well. Just trying to prevent any major damage.
Can anyone tell me the true alotable tolerance before a rebuild is truely necessary? I strongly feel its at that point if not past... Rappadan is a good guy and has been in touch seems like he may be willing to partially credit me the cost of the standard rebuild kit which is just like $69 so I hope all goes well.

Hmm, in terms of the greddy mani, I thought it was a pretty simple effective design. Not truely concerned with the size of the piping becuase you normaly want to keep it small to achieve faster spool then go as big as you can at the downpipe back. I also have a spare greddy mani that I was keeping if ever I have any problems...
If I switch to another one the cast t3 mani on ebay looks like a good deal and seems to have good results any thoughts and replies would be great as I am looking to get everything together in next couple months..

Thats what I was looking into. I may actually just weld a t3 flange over the t25, machine the original hole to be the same size and drill / tap new holes for the bolts... Should only add the size of the larger turbo and a half inch for the flange tops.. If I do it I'll keep everyone posted.. For right now I'm looking into just rebuiling the turbo so I can get the car boosted.

So, the thickness of the adapter flange, the extra room for the larger turbo.. downpipe will be fun.
Seriously, if you can make it work then good on you, but it just isn't worth the hassle. Rebuild the Greddy, drive on it awhile, and when you upgrade replace the manifold with a better design.
