Offset turbo inlet flange???

Looking at installing a 4" exhaust right out of my H1C using a 3" to 4" adapter. That's going to put the downpipe right up against the wall, so wondering if anybody has seen some kind of offset flange/adapter, cast iron for turbo exhaust inlet, to let turbo move forward? Thought I saw some somewhere and can't find them now.... Thanks!

It`s not needed,




it`s REAL close but two years now and no problems, just have to measure about 10,000 times before you make any cuts.

Thanks, Chris! Unfortunately I cannot find that great little adapter there in the pics anywhere in my search. If I had one of those you're absolutely right: NON-ISSUE!

Any clues where to locate that exact style of adapter? THANKS!

I got mine with the down pipe, it is a "you measure and cut to fit" deal. Got the stuff from Rip Rook (do a search, GREAT guy to deal with IMO).

I did a web search after checking out RipRook. I used a keyword 'Reducer' instead of 'Adapter' BINGO!

Price is right and I don't know but I think it will work!

Looks like it will, IIRC I had to trim ALOT off of it to get the length down.

I'm hoping the wall thickness is sufficient to support a downpipe. Find out I guess. Thanks again for the tips!
