bgkast The head fit the diameter fine, I did not get to test the depth or insert the bolt for the pictures because I need to chase my manifolds threads in that location with a tap.* winmutt taps foot patiently. I already got the 8mm-10mm stud but I think it is too short. I got an allen bolt head for the blind one.
Cant wait!!!!
My 8 to 10 stud is marginal in length too. Is there some sort of high temp loctite I can use on the studs?

bgkast It took about 3 hours. It would have been faster if I started out roughing the hole with my angle grinder, instead of trying a dremel for an hour at first. Once the hole is roughed out the dremel works great.Mine came in (wife didnt tell me of course). Was the 10->8mm stud long enough?

It will work, but I would like it to be longer on the 10MM side. Any ideas on high-temp loc-tite? We will need to use something to keep that 8 to 10 MM stud in place with only 3/8 of threads screwed into the exhaust manifold. I would also like to use something to prevent exhaust leaks around the studs where they thread into the adaptor.

While I'm waiting on some gasket material, I can't get the manifold studs out. Are they pressed in or threaded in? I don't want to crack the manifold trying to pull them out.

Yes, after 20+ years of heat cycling and corrosion they can be a bear to get out. I had to use triple jam nuts to get the studs out of mine without damage.

11-04-2008, 08:14 PM #62ditto on how big a pain in the ass those studs are to get out.. Try lots of PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench, heat, maybe give them a good whack (gently, don't crack anything) with a hammer, and use a multitude of jam nuts.. good luck! I don't know what pitch they are, but 3/8" studs from autozone just sorta threaded right in for my HX30 swap.. lol

I do already have a turbo, but it has end play so I'm searching for another.

Any updates? I'm looking into a Liberty turbo for my 240 instead of bolting the stock T3 back on.

can these newer VNT turbos be rebuilt, or is it cheaper, easier, and smarter to find a good used one?

The cost of a used turbo is usually less than a (genuine, not Chinese clone junk) rebuild kit.

(09-25-2009, 03:53 AM)Kiwibacon Did I mention I have solidworks and a whole collection of turbo adapter designs already?Could you make a T3 to 3" V-band?
It's pretty quick to crank out another if you guys provide some measurements.
Also, will this adapter plate work for the Sprinter turbos?

Which end of the T3?
I have a sprinter turbo, the flange is indeed a mongrel. I've got a T3-sprinter turbo adapter but it runs through about 120 degrees. I've yet to install this turbo.

They are limited by compressor surge. Without an intercooler, 15psi before 3500rpm and 23psi past 3500rpm.

Are those your experiences at alititude or predicted off that map?
My GT2256V has a smaller trim than that map shows, which will give it higher pressure ratios without surge.

so are the Sprinter and Jeep turbo's the same unit??
I only have to worry about being 240 foot as opposed to you guys with some really high spots.
I have an intercooler that is 700x300x75, ( was planning Super turbo on a OM605, but reading more about the VNT/VGT these seem to offer greater driveabilty as opposed to an HX35) would this be a little large, and would the turbo benifit from an external wastegate??
Sorry to hijack this thread

Yes, the Sprinter turbos that are electrically actuated have a slightly larger inducer.
