clue in the clueless what are the differences in the flanges why there called what they are and also with the pedestals?<---what is that?

[neversatisfied]

The difference is the size.T3,T4,T6 Their may be other sizes but these are the ones i'm familiar with. T3 is smaller, T6 is big. The pedistal is where the up-pipes and the exhaust housing of the turbo mount to. You can see a pic here http://dmaxcentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157

ok i get the sizes but why T 3 or 4 what is the number and letter for? the letter stands for turbo?

[Diesel Tech]

Many years ago Garrett started calling the frame size of the turbo using T2,T3, T4 and T6 as there call outs. T2 being the smallest and the larger the number the larger the turbo frame is. Since that time many have adopted using it as the bolt pattern for mounting the turbine side (exhaust). Today everyone refers to it that way. What it truly meant back in the day and what most people refer to it today is not one in the same.

Sorry, I thought you said T4.....I'm really losing it.:(

Is the one in the marketplace T4?

[Josh2002cc]

Yes it is a T4. Priced to sell at 1100 bucks.

PM me if you want to go the PPE route...I know a guy who knows a guy whos brother use to date someones daughter.

[IOWA LLY]

I wonder if PPE will sell the just the spacer required to install a 42 on it?

If not I doubt it would be that hard to make one....

[Josh2002cc]

Spacer?? Why do you need a spacer? Thought that turbo was meant for that pedistal.

[IOWA LLY]

I dont know, there website talks about an optional spacer plate for 42 series or larger turbos...
