BT here i come

[Jbone29]

Picked up the turbo from my buddy today for a steal! Just need to order up the rest of the parts for the build then get to work!!!!

Thats a tiny little thing! Potato's FTW!

[AudiA4_20T]

50 trim?

haha i know but this is my daily so gunna keep it at least semi practical either way its much better then my almost blown k03

[vinny.dtw]

WOOT!

[7speed]

go with an SPA Manifold

[Jbone29]

go with an SPA Manifold

Where did you get yours??

[7speed]

Ebay through an authorized dealer - I cant remeber the username. It took less than 20 mins to install

Your SPA mani comes in T3 only, the T25 is a much different (crappier) design

the SPA comes in T25 flange version.

it just has no external wastegate flange.

so you're going to have to run internal. which that GT28RS is more than capable of doing. once you get a new actuator

Ohhh, I didnt know he had a t25 flange

[A4ringedONE8T]

T3 28RS's are not the norm (while they do exsist and are available) but it appears there is a internal wg stem sticking out, barely visible right below the compressor outlet. Internal WG are usually T25 for this turbo

Im aware, it is a different design though than Sam's, similar to the ATP

[7speed]

Yah the SPA T25 Manifold is very similar to the ATP and would pretty much defeat the purpose of buying the SPA

oh i got ya. i thought you were referring to the T25 as a crappier design

T25 SPA manifold is an inferior design compared to their T3 manifold, yes

[Jbone29]

Ok so general consensus is that the SPA manifold with the T25 flange is not the way to go? i dont know much about turbos and or manifolds so just trying to get the right info to make it work sry for the noobieness

[sean1.8t]

T25 SPA manifold is an inferior design compared to their T3 manifold, yes

haha damnit! this is impossible to get through the internets

i mean the flange design and ease of working with it all together. not the manifold. any manifold with a T25 flange is inferior to that same manifold with a T3 flange. the T3 flange just has soooo much more room to work with.

lol, alright look, nothing to do with the flange itself

T3 mani = good design



T25 mani = not the same design as the T3

[sean1.8t]

urg! i know what the SPA manifolds look like. that is not what im talking about.

im talking about the FLANGE design. as in that rectangle thing with a big hole in it and 4 little holes for studs.
