Hello all,

Alright I'm back from Iraq and just got the engine back from the machine shop. So I'm finished putting the engine together but I've noticed something. I have a BEGI exhaust manifold and a GT3271 turbo... and from what I've seen from just eye balling it, it seems that the turbo isn't going to fit.. If anyone has any experience with it maybe I could get some pointers... I know andyfloyd has the turbo but he has a JGS style log manifold with the t3 footprint facing up a little. If this doesn't fit I guess I'm gonna look for someone that would wanna trade a turbo that would fit. thanks in advance.

You need to do some strategic trimming the of the shelf but you can get it in there.

nothing a grinder won't address. you're not really modifying until you've had to "clearance" the block with a grinder to make your new big turbo fit.

 

thank you for the info fellas

 

thats gonna be a kick driving that

 

Post pictures and video or I will bribe Philip into banning you.

 

Dude i told you we could just take out the fender well for clearance. this is going to be fun i agree.

 

damn thats a bit turbo.
