Turbo flanges / dimensions questions. Opinions ?
Hello guys, for my DIY Turbo kit i talked to one of the Kraken guys who build turbo exhaust manifold and i will buy a exhaust kit from them, all good for now.
The problem is that my DIY Turbo kit which I would like to buy ( kit inculdes: Intercooler piping, oil lines, turbo, wastegate , bow, etc, all small stuff, and it's pretty cheap) has a kind of flange, a weird one. I've talked to that guy (chinese guy) and i asked him for the Turbo flange dimensions, i gave him links like this : IMG but he can't tell me sure what flange does the turbo has.
The kit title is: UNIVERSAL T3/T4 T3 T4 T04E TURBO KIT +INTERCOOLER+WASTEGATE+BOV+BOOST GAUGE+ TURBO OIL LINE
KIT LINK: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/UNIV...22a72e0elj6BZe
so as you can see it's a T04E T3/T4 one, and i don't know what flange dimesnion does it has. it's 4 bolts one. I need the flange dimension to tell the Kranken guy which builds my manifold what flange should it have, he can build TD04l, T25 and if i will pay him more (since he's not building them anymore) also T3 flange.
I guess since it's Td04E that "E" does not change the flange type, right ?
Second Problem: The manifold built by them does not include a Wastegate "hole", and my turbo from the kit does not have an internal one, as you can see. so i think my only option is to buy this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EPMA...22a72e0elj6BZe
For the ECU, i already installed one, to get the ignition timing and fueling, so no problem. It's not MS.
So what are your thoughts on this build? I live in Europe so the parts are pretty hard to find and my budget is negative )
But for my project ( i only aim 0.5 bar ~ 7 psi) i think it will do the job.
I hope I expressed clearly if not sorry, i try my best.
Thank you !
** I buy from that webstie becouse the shipping is almost free (from France) and becouse it's in EU i won't pay extra import tax (20%)

Much easier than trying to hack together everything.
Good luck.

Just tell the Kraken guy to use a T3 bolt pattern (assuming your buying his cast manifold), he'll know what it is. You'll need to specify what stud size to use (M8 or M10). Honestly, why not just use a T2 based with a Garret 5 bolt exit and you can get a complete kit from Kraken with manifold + downpipe and either 2.5 or 3" cast housing.
Much easier than trying to hack together everything.
Good luck.

When i did the research i found that t3 and t3/t4 are different. Right?
I just want to fit in and start test it with it and then i will buy a better turbo.
Thanks

You are right the quality of the buil will be better. I approve. But on my first project money are now a big issue, i must admit.

Kraken sells a complete kit, manifold + down pipe + exhaust in either 2.5” or 3” for a T2 or TD04 turbo. Why don’t you make it easy on yourself and ask them what to buy and where? They’re even inside the EU to make it easier for you.
I realize some of us are accused of being dense... but seriously.

You’re going to spend any perceived savings in cobbling up more pcs to make things “fit”.
#14
On the turbo you’re talking about it’ll need a exit housing with a flapper for the wastegate to make it internal. Another cost... If you use a T25 like others have mentioned, the exit housing is simpler and the wastgate flapper is internal to the turbo. Kraken has a cast exit housing that bolts onto a T25 turbo that uses a 5 bolt Garrett bolt pattern. Simple and he also sells the whole exhaust package to bolt up.

Links for t25s to buy?

Sorry, f'ing mobile app isn't handling the link thing.

Hi, a t25 as i can see it's at least 300$, comming from outside the eu i must pay taxes almost 30% that means almost 400$. While i can buy a t3 t4 with the kit above at 700$ shipped without taxes (bcs it s inside eu) and while the kit already comes with that turbo it will be at least 400$ cheaper. So, unfortunately for me these are unnecessary bills

Than spend less at the start and have to replace things as they break.
Think of this:
you have two plates of food in front of you.
One plate is $5, it's from a shop with absolutely no other customers, and who knows what they do in the kitchen (do they even have a fridge to store meat?)
The other plate is $10, it's from a known restaurant, lots of satisfied customers, and has a health inspection sticker in the window saying it's clean.
The $5 one is cheaper at first, and MIGHT be great.
It may also give you food poisoning and you'll have to spend an extra wad of money on going to hospital, missing work, buying medication.
The $10 one costs more at first, but you know it will be tasty and won't make you sick.
Which do you choose?

A lot of the time it's a lot cheaper to spend more at first and have it work.

Maybe something like this at least it bolts up to everything Kraken: https://www.ebay.com/itm/GT2860-49-a...IAAOxy2HFSWKYq

$600 something dollars for this random collection of **** turbo parts is not cheap.
Buy kraken manifold/Downpipe and maybe exhaust
Find a used t25 turbo of a nissan s14 s14 or s15 silvia. $150-300
Or a China t25 from aliexpress, reasonably small sized one (under 2871 size) $200
A cheap bov $30-50
The above t25 turbos already have an internal wastegate.
This is better and cheaper that buying that pile of **** parts.
