I have heard good things about Forced Inductions, but have never really looked into them. I checked them out today, and found what seems to be an unbelievable deal on a 62mm charger. Looks like you could get a T-4/T-3 flange adapter and bolt it right up. For $949 it seems like a great buy. Thoughts? Opinions?

Click the link, scroll down to the S300-62-ETT

It looks like it uses a T4 flange. We have a T3 flange on a stock manifold. I suppose you could go with one of them that does use a T3 flange though.

 

See sentence 3 in my original post. I'm not a huge fan of the adapter plate, but they seem fine.

 

How much is the adapter plate though.

 

I have a friend that CNC's parts for medical equipment. I emailed him a file of the plate and he said he could do it for a 30-pack of Miller Lite, including the material. He uses that payment system regularly, so from my experience with him, it's probably worth $30 bucks. No telling what a turbo shop would charge, though. Could be a hundred bucks.

I probably will still go with the D-Tech 62, just because of its reputation with 1st gen guys and the lesser potential for an installation issue.

 

They have t3 flanged housings as well, give em a call.

 

What do the A/R's come out too though?

I will assume the .83 is comparable to a 14cm and the .76 is a 12cm

 

According to this link. .89 A/R is 12cm.

I doubt it though. AS i've never heard of an S300 exh. housing with anything smaller than 12cm, and they're offering a .83?

 

I read elsewhere (another site online) that an .80 came out to a 14cm. I've also read that the AR housing size isn't universal across the board either so idk...

 

The tech at Borge Warner told me an 80 was in fact a 14.77 cm.
