Custom T4 turbo bracket to mount to chassis

I believe it is .5" thick mild steel (could be 3/8"...dont remember off the top of my head). It is tig welded and has provisions for 4 mountings spots. The flange has a T4 bolt pattern and the opening is a 2.5" hole (instead of the T4 shaped opening). Their is a short section of 2.5" pipe tig welded to the flange. All the welds were professionally tigged.

The picture shows a precision T76 housing bolted in for test fit. Figured I post alink here for those interested. It shows the turbo mounted in the fenderwell on the driver's side in front of the tire. You can mount it where ever you want.

$100 shipped...firm

Yeah, I saw metal man onls1tech do it like this so i did too. I am changing turbos though and wil need to do some serious rework to the bracket. Instead, am going to sel it as is for a T4 setup. Thanks for the bump.

I take it you would need to merge the pipes into a Y, connect the single pipe to an expansion joint, and connect it to the turbo? :)

Chris, what i would do is put a 90 elbow on the piece of pipe that is welded to the flange so the exhaust comes in from the driver's side. i would have both sides of the exhaust merge at the beginning of this 90 degree bend. Understand?

I see what you're saying, but you would still need an expansion/flex joint since the turbo is hard mounted to the body/frame of the car, right?

Absolutely. I would run the pass. side piping either under the pan (with flex section there, or out the front (if no AC) under the crank pulley (and have the flex in front there). I would then have a flex for the diver's side as well coming down off the header (which faces forward) after the flex would be the merge where the two pipes come togther and then voila. There re different was to do it. The flex could be right after the 90 degree elbow ten slpit to the drivers side and pass side and i would still add a seperate flex for the pass side.

You don't necessarily have to. I only put one on the pass. side up-pipe. Use poly motor and tranny mounts and you should be fine. Here's my up-pipe Y where it bolts to the turbo's frame-mounted flange.

reduced price...

Anyone interested in doing their own homemade kit...this would work great for you. I am getting a bigger turbo and its not worth hacking this bracket up.
