Default WTB: Tial GT turbo mount if anyone has one laying around...

As stated used, unused. Read they were d/c by Tial so just seeing if anyone has one sitting around.

Contact info@tialsport.com. They recently sold the last few of the last production run and are looking at doing another. These aren’t NLA, just out of stock at the moment.

I ordered one from my UK Tial dealer this week.

Penguinracer may I ask who you ordered it from (uk based) as I tried Turbodynamics and had no joy and also informed they are working to a two month lead time from Tial .

Just would like to add that if you know anyone with a lathe they could make these easy. Hardest part is the groove for the crush ring.. everything else can be done with basic tools, drill grinder etc.. they are not that complicated.

Hi Sherry, I ordered it from Owen Developments.
They checked with Tial U.S & reported they had some in stock & could have it here in about a week.

does the mount raise or lower the position of the turbo? Just curious how much effort would be involved in mounting a gtx gen 2 series turbo. Tial mount, oil drain, modified cross-over and downpipe.

My engine builder had to cut & reweld the mount to fit my GTX3071R Gen II.
Now that I've Darton wet-sleeved out to 104mm bore to be a 2.7 litre - I'm going with a GTX3576R Gen II - which has a bigger hot side & therefore
will require a new mount which have to be modified.
My builder tried three different alternators until we found one which works with the packing.
My motor is dry-sumped & runs SFR intake, SFR stage 2 intercooler, SFR stage 1 headers (it's RHD), crossover & exhaust with a/c delete.
We're running a massive oil cooler, Wizard radiator etc & the packaging work has been a total sod.

Do not underestimate what's involved. Then there's the intake ducting/trunking solution to think about.
Admittedly my car's a RHD 952, so it may be a little different for the 951.

I think the mount raises the turbo slightly - and then the turbo's obviously bigger, which compounds the problem.

Phone number I used to speak to TiAl: 989-729-8553 and it rings at their office.
Hope this helps

Apparently they are in the middle of upgrading website and other stuff. Phone would probably be best. I just ordered one. Good luck!
