I will take some photos of the ones I removed later today.

Wow they have all twisted @ the cross hole. Get your torque wrenches verified they are reading correct.

Yeah I saw a select few of their turbos paired with the 8cm. Don't see it being sold separately though. Might contact them and see how many options they have available. Ah I found a sold one...

Nice!, I was not aware of this company. Could drop a ton of money on this stuff. I am liking the exterior trim pieces, almost cheaper than finding a used set.

So the stock CT-26 turbine housing is also 7cm / .49 A/R that Mamba lists for their custom made one? I am trying to figure out why they chose such a small custom made housing that can adapt to Garrett CHRA's.

Just as easy to just repair the high current path circuit within the sensor box. Usually just a bad solder joint, or jumper wire. If the IC chip on the board is still ok its very very easy to repair. Takes about 2 minutes of diagnosis to figure out.

Looked at the Mamba offerings a bit more. Not sure the exhaust housings size they chose to make are a great choice. Looks like most of the stuff they offer has a 7 cm turbing housing. Which seems awfully small for an engine this size. Wouldn't all these turbos severely limit the top end power...

Ah I see, it wasn't the threads. Just snapped in half @ the weak point where the cross hole was machined.

Did it pull the threads out of the bolt or the block? My guess is the cast iron block won that battle, which is much better than the alternative.

I believe Toyota just calls them a spacer. Check the GTE ignition coil mount and see if those spacers match the same as the ones for the 3000 pipe. If they are close to the same size the PN is: 90561-08016 And of course that part is discontinued...hmm They are also known as sleeve washers...

I also bought all new squirter bolts from Toyota to replace mine. Didn't have any issues torquing them down. Agree with plaaya, they were likely overtorqued due to the assembly lube used. Have to be very careful with torque specs for any small fasteners, very easy to over-torque accidentally.

I weigh the pros and cons of each and usually choose the better designed option. Though I am also a sucker for the OEM TEMS system. Still trying to find that 1 Tokico Illumina shock though.... :(

Eh I don't know if I would trust Mambatech. Has anyone here taken the gamble and bought one of their turbos?

Yeah, but heat-shields are pretty minor. You can easily find some rigid bendable heat shielding now and make your own custom ones. Very similar to OE style shielding. https://www.heatshieldproducts.com/automotive/heat-shield-and-thermal-barriers/inferno-shield

Yeah that or a CT26 to T4 adapter using the stock manifold. Though then you would be limited to only internally gated turbos. Is this the only style T4 cast manifold on the market now?

You want to sell it? :D

I love boxes of parts, its always like Christmas multiple times a year. :D

That would be sweet. Would be a shame if they threw it out.

Yeah I called Precision as well. They were very reluctant to give any information on this. He mentioned SP offering a product and that they didn't sell any or know of any. When I asked where SP was sourcing the custom made turbine housing he shut down and said even if they made it he wouldn't...

Yeah I just called Comp turbo. They said that product for the 87-92 supra was such a low volume item they discontinued it. They don't have any more parts for them on the shelf either. This is for the CT26 style bolt on turbine housing. Even the casting mold was designed by them, they had the...
