alright, i'm posting this to see what kind of offers i can get for this turbo. i want to run it on my setup, but i dont want to pay to have a flange made for it, if i dont get what i want then i guess i'll just suck it up. but i'm looking to upgrade to a T3/T4 or something similar. alright heres the info.
I bought this turbo for my KA-T setup, but as you probably know RB turbos have a 6 bolt exhaust flange (instead of the usual 4 or 5) this makes making a DP more difficult if you cant make your own flange. you could use an RB dump pipe if your going bottom mount tho, unfortunately my setup is top mount. i didnt buy this turbo new, but i bought it from the person who bought it new, never ran it (as far as i know), but DID have it thermo coated (that means it wont rust!) i did a little DIY inlet porting on the compressor side with a flap wheel, nothing crazy tho, we also welded the WG flapper shut, so you have to use an external WG. lets hear your offers.

taking offers! also willing to trade for a T3/T4 from any big name (turbonetics, precision, garrett) anything that isnt ebay really. must be T3 flanged tho, so no T25/T28 stuff.
