Okay guys I’m back again with another dumb mistake on my part. I went ahead and bought a tial mv-r wastegate. Went to mount everything up and realized the 5 bolt exhaust housing won’t work because the wastegate is in the way. I assume I need a 4 bolt or vband. I’m really over this whole damn thing. Not sure if I want to press on to finish the build or just go back to n/a. In your guys opinion what would be the least inexpensive way to solve my issue? Just change exhaust housing to 4 bolt? Find another used turbo?

it is. The manifold doesnt support a 5 bolt down pipe. Only 4 bolt or v band which I didn’t know at the time of purchase. The Mv-r wastegate is massive and blocks two of the bolts on the 5 bolt. With a vband or 4 bolt this would not be an issue.

So I got in contact with manufacture of my turbo. I am able to get a t3 .63 a/r 4 bolt housing. Does anyone know if this will work before I order it? The exhaust turbine blade is 62mm. Would going with a smaller a/r help fitment or anything? If you have had this kit before any input would be much appreciated.
