Well I'm glad I replaced the diff mounts because one of my rears had a split going all the way across the top. New mounts feel good so far; not a ton of difference which is fine by me. Getting those front mounts swapped over was kinda a PITA. That exhaust hanger on the passenger side and the retarded evap junk on the driver side were all up in the way. Ended up removing the aluminum brackets from the diff housing then fiddling it all back on there. Took about 3 hours total.

Hey guys, so I picked up a 60-1 t4 .81 turbo from a local guy the other day. I got a deal I couldn't pass up, so despite it being a t4 I picked it up.
I'm wanting to go with a log manifold that locates the turbo down by the oil filter. This manifold is fine for my power goals of 350-400whp, so please don't inform me that they're not as efficient. The problem is the manifold I want only seems to come with a t3 flange. So I'm looking at two options here.
1.(easier and probably cheaper) I buy a t3 to t4 adapter to mount the turbo to the manifold. I'm then feeding an already relatively large turbine housing with a t3 sized port, will that increase lag? Will that cause any other issues I haven't considered?
2. (Preferred option, but I don't know where to start) I swap to a t3 .63 turbine housing on my turbo. This leads me to asking, how do I know what stage turbine wheel I have and how do I know if a certain turbine housing will work?
Thanks in advanced.
Here is my exact turbo for reference

Got a quick question. Anyone know if the stock breather ports are good enough to relieve crank case pressure? At how much WHP do we need to vent our valve covers?
Just trying to get an idea.

I just ran a breather filter on the front and added a supra pcv in the line to the intake manifold. That's when I had my SC, now I have a vented catch can for the turbo setup. But I was making 405whp with no issue with the SC
