Default Turbo fitment issues

Long story short, I blew my 35r and now am having problems finding a turbo to fit without having to cut the mount or hammer at the frame, neither of which I want to do.

What turbos are you guys running with the inline pro manifold? It's looking like I may need a BB but really would like to stay on the less expensive side and also a journal bearing so I could rebuild it if need be. Also, it needs to be a 5 bolt exhaust housing. I've tried a 60-1 and had to send it back because it didn't fit and I want the next one I order to be the right one.

Any info is appreciated, I'm trying to get this done before my tuner goes out of town on Friday!



Thanks,

Ben

i am using a precsion 5965 turbo with a b cover, I did not need to notch my frame. It is a ball bearing turbo though.

in your sig your running only 336whp? why not get a GT30r and save space and spool faster than your 35r? you could easily make the same for better hp

that was on low boost. high boost i was 390. i'd go for the 30r but i'm trying to say in a cheaper journal bearing turbo so i can rebuild it if i pop another one.

What was the reason for popping the first one? Seems you are worried about blowing another turbo for some reason...Mabye you should address the problem that cause the turbo to go bad first.

As far as notching the frame, i had a sc61 with the smaller compressor housing and the frame was notched.

I have a 5965 with the B cover non ball bearing from precision.
No need to notch the frame with it either.

cost? did you order it straight from precision? have any dyno's with it? i called inline pro and they recommended me this turbo when i explained what was going on. i did some poking around because i haven't read a lot on this particular turbo but plan on digging around some more tonight.
