Hi Guys Me again...

Still researching turbo's.

What, if any, Turbo will fit onto stock TT manifold other than the obvious CT12A's, I think I have seen 2x GT17's on a stock manifold here on this site. Are there any specs on the manifold as to what upgrade can be directly bolted on?

the GT17s were modified to fit, a adaptor set was made up and welded as to fit the 17s.

HKS T3gs are the only ones i know of that bolt straight up to standard

HKS T3G's DO NOT bolt up to stock manifolds, they come with their own manifolds which are different to stock.

ok so unless you modify nothing else besides the CT12A's will bolt onto the stock manifolds.

Not that you would want to keep the restrictive sh1ty things anyway.

Just wanted to have all the facts.

Cheers guys! :-)

You could always get the CT12A's high flowed and steel wheeled. Keeping the motor looking stock and enjoy the responsive power.

That's if your happy with up to 270rwkw in performance, because that is where most CT12a hybrids die in the ass.

I've seen something similar...

Rainer Fritzsche off here has GT30xx internals put inside his stock VVT-i turbo housing and makes 230rwkw odd, it's the best way to go to keep it looking stock / looking legal.
