Your right, many very powerful cars use a T3 flange. The difference between a T3 and T4 really isn’t very much and only comes into play at very high power levels.Fwiw you can make good power on a t3.
We’re actually doing a unique setup on the wastegate, you’ll see very soonBe careful where you place your wastegates on that bottom mount. Options are scarce and you will most likely get boost creep if not designed well.
Yes, I spoke with John. I wasn't too far off, but, my comments weren't nessesary or relative to the future of DBV2 or this product.
I hope these prove to have good fitment at a good price.
I just bought another n54 that needs turbo's. And I love this idea. Just throwing that out there john.
Definitely looking forward to more info on this. I always like seeing this process and the enginuity that goes into it. This seems likely to be a much better price point also. I’d love to see a full kit ready to go under 3k. Keep up the good work.
Haha I prefer the term fiscally responsible. Luckily the shop we work with takes the brunt of the hard work. But yes, it’s been a really long process to make everything fit perfect as possible.Nothing is cheap, well I am, lol!!! I still love seeing this process, hopefully I won’t be a broke bi*%# forever and can get something someday soon. Either way, I love seeing this because it’s something I would love to be able to do myself. Fabrication has to be a difficult and frustratingly fun project to do
3582 and 3584 custom built turbos. My turbo will be a 3582 with the compressor housing CNC machined to fit a 3584 size wheel in a 6+6 blade configuration. We can do many different configurations. All depends on what the customer wants.What do you mean by you make turbos now, and will be doing the turbos for these kits? Your OP mentioned they will be Garrett units.
If you're welding the wastegate flange on the turbine housing, it was done on the first single kit available to the N54.We’re actually doing a unique setup on the wastegate, you’ll see very soon

@John@DBV2 - any thought to having a manifold cast for your kit? I know one has been promised for several years from another source...
Unfortunately due to complexity of the manifold and the parts included, it will be around $4500 most likely depending on a few final details. Only kits that could be that cheap would be something cast and I don’t have that capability.
