Okay so here we go

RB25 with the CX Racing Top Mount T3/T4 Manifold with the 38mm wastegate flange
bought it with the vband downpipe as a set
pretty cool setup
was open scroll which for me was fine
at first I ran an HX35 which was cool until the Snap Ring Started Leaking badly
and then I decided I just wanted to go to something new
So decided borg warner was the way i wanted to go
So sold the hx35 and bought a brand new T4 S360 with the 4.21 vband (cant rmemeber other specs off the top of my head right now)
But now the exhaust side is too big, it hits the valve cover before the exhaust flange can sit flush

so im wondering if anyone else had this issue with this manifold, ideas on what to do
or shit even if someone would want to trade turbos
its still brand new

New exhaust housing
New manifold
Or
Have manifold flange cut and re-welded to clear

Odds of you finding someone with the same turbo and a different housing THEN them wanting to trade is absurd.

not the exact same turbo lol just a decent brand T3 that would actually clear that would still keep me in the me 400 range
i went from a holset hx35 to this
so i'd still like to stick with something nicer than that
