not unless I change out center cartridge and adapt a kkk hotside, or buy a tial hotside. I highly suggest Tial, if you have the extra 400 bucks. I had the time and neans instead of cash. Only reason why.

Thank you,and yes it is. If you let it dry overnight and don't rely on it to fix poor fab work, it will never leak. seriously.

I was worried I shouldn't be using that stuff because no one on here has mentioned it, I use it on just about anything that doesn't say not to use it on. So far , leaks are one problem I've never had to deal with (knock on wood )

That is exactly right. A friend of mine in the Jeep community uses it on headers as gasket material and it holds there just fine.

Which Tial waste gate are you using?

Just making sure I understand correctly.....
So, with the tial housing this turbo will bolt right on to existing up/down pipes with V-band clamps???

i.e. It would bolt right up to up/down pipes from all the big vendors? (assuming V-band clamps)

You would still need the adapter?
You wouldn't need to make the throttle spring modifications?

no!!!

it's just easier to make it fit as it's smaller physical.

when it comes to GT30 or tialsport GT30, nothing is a bolton.

That's why I asked!!! :-)
So, even w/ the tialsport housing, the turbo is physically longer and requires the downpipe to bend "around" the balance shaft housing.....?

Hope this isn't tooo OT:
Do I also misunderstand on this site: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=GRT
I was assuming that you could choose any of those turbine housings and the center section and compressor housing would be completely unchanged?

Right?

So, if you choose the third turbine housing (K24/26- .63 or .82 A/R only) or fourth (T3 4 bolt exhaust housing- .63 or .82 A/R only) does that give the turbo approx. the same "length" as our stock turbo? (I understand that the loss of the "venturi shaped housing" would lose some efficiency, but...)
