No, stock turbos and manifoldsare differnt. With the same turbo and manifold, the same dp will fit. In this case a pagparts kit.

oh ok.. i get it lol [&:], i think ive been looking at too many affidavits all day lol.

and as for the following :
Does the t360 you have found come with an interal wastegate?
the t360s i found are all internal wastegates.

Our K04/03 turbos are external or internal ? what is ideal for our cars?

stock are internal. Internal are easier to install and quiter to run. externals are nicer for much larger turbos. you mind posting the links to the turbos you have found?

http://www.westcoast-turbo.com/turboa.htmlok here is a t3super60 for $389
-----------------------------------
http://www.pwrhaus.com/products.html#garrettsuper60$575

those are the ones i have saved on my work pc. the other day i went through the web for 1.5 hrs straight trying to source out my options so on my laptop i will have a bunch more links .

notice they all say internal wastegates

i also noticed that alot of ricer honda owners are selling these turbos because they buy it and realize its not for their application LMAO [sm=pcwhack.gif]

yea im most likely gonna get the 575 and then save up for the kit for pag parts

rebuilt is just as good though.. (i know im gonna get punched) lol 389... hmm sounds so tempting though.

but back to the original topic.... I am still waiting on TCarbon to give me the A ok to go ahead and purchase the item. they sd that if we purchase the FMIC for the180 TT we may have to wait a little bit but some of the ones that have already been ordered have gone out in the mail are currently being installed.


FYI Tcarbon also advised me that they have been following this post very closely and are very pleased with our discussion but they cannot post a reply cuz they non members

One of them joined vortex to post there. For a 180, i would still get the tuner-stop fmic, the abd design tCarbon setup is not the best.

ORIGINAL: cincyTT

Looks like someone finally listened on here/vortex and got the tunerstop fmic w/ large intercooler for $400. Will fit all 180's

cecilcohen"I just finished doing a FMIC install. I ended up using the Tuner-stop.com kit with the larger intercooler. 1 hr to take bumper off and old intercooler and piping. Took 3 hours to install and fabricate 3 brackets, and 1more hour to install it all back together.
I had to cut 2 pipes that come with the kit. Other than that, it fit fine."
