Hey guys, so yeah I just scored a t4 turbo and the guy was unable to "find" the brackets and bolts for the compressor housing and exhaust, where can I get some at?

Also, I've seen people run a .70 a/r turbo (like mine) with just a filter on it and no maf? I don't see the hose and such, just a filter, how is that?

I might need a spacer to raise it also because it will hit the header when I angle it to mount the hose for the intercooler looks like. If it helps I have an Xspower style t4 header from ebay.

Thanks in advance guys!

Depends on what turbo it is bud.

They run filter or AFM less because they have a MAP Based Piggyback or standalone.
Google: Maft Pro or MAP ECU for said piggybacks.

Spacers are eazy to come by. :)

Thanks for the insight guys but there is no "lack of brain power" here haha I am very car knowledgeable and not a typical "bench racer". I do work on my cars all the time & nobody touches them.

I still yes need to do research on the MAF comp. stuff but that'll be later on down the road. Main concern is getting the right bolts to use with brackets, I don't want to get some crappy bolt for a turbo set up because I know there is plenty of heat to contend with.

your best option is selling that turbo and buying a kit from driftmotion fo r1500. So worth it and top quality. Includes everything you need with turbo

But I have mostly all I need for my turbo motor build already. The turbo I have is a great turbo, no shaft play and really strong. I just need a couple clamp/brackts to hold down the exhaust & front housing to the turbine haha I'm not going to spend another 2000 just for a turbo kit.

Well I do know it's a turbo built by Mike's Turbo so I feel pretty confident on it. I got a shop here to look at it tomorrow for me if not I'll just call Mike's turbo I guess. Might have to get a 90 degree bend to clear the manifold looks like
