Default top(small) turbo question

I just traded my dad, my phat shaft 62 for his 66 so he could use the 62 for a top turbo.

Well we flipped the manifold upside down, and the compressor housing hits the ATS manifold, and yes i re-clocked the housings. im not sure if im doing something wrong or if we need a spacer.

Also we need plumbing from a HT-60. so far no one wants to help me. i hope i can find someone.

You need a T3 spacer... if the 62 exhaust housing has a divided volute, the T3 should also have a divider to match.

Any issues with running a t3 spacer that is not divided? I know a lot of people do that on the hx35's to wastegate all 6 cylinders.

HT60 will be a hard one to find plumbing for, and you will most likely be building a lot of it yourself. It is a reverse rotation turbo so if the flange on the exhaust housing is a t6 flange, a hot pipe for an HT3b would probably work. And actually, come to think of it, since you're going from a V-band style outlet on your secondary, rotation shouldn't matter as you can clock the hot pipe any direction you need.

I'm still thinking that you will probably have to do most the fab work yourself on the plumbing though.

Here are some good links for places to buy flanges and plumbing components.

I also have an ATS manifold and even with a 1/2" spacer, it still hit. No problem with a spacer and the HX35 though.

Go with a thicker spacer or do as I did and get your grind on with the shoulder on the ATS. Since I had already coated the compressor housing, it was the least of 2 evils.

We have T3 and other spacers and twins parts in stock. Give Eric a call if you are looking for anything.

Not if the exhaust housing is single volute - on a twin volute, spoolup benefits from a divided flange (superior pressure pulse preservation).

Not sure where you can get one though - we make our own divided T3 flanges.

Thats what i wasn't sure of. Thats seems like a logical enough reason.
