I added two braces from the turbo flange to the head flange and I rotated the wastegate flange 90 degrees to fit my dump tube. I also welded a spacer onto the T4 flange to raise my turbo and to slightly turn it away from the engine as my compressor housing would not fit.

I had/have the 1st gen of the manifold so it would not clear a stock oil filter mount but that was ok since I had a sandwhich mount anyways.

Parting out .......whhyyyyyyyy!

Full time work + university night school courses + car being far from where I live (cant keep supra at my condo's parking garage) = no time for supra for 4 years.

I litterally wake up, go to work, go to school, eat, sleep and repeat every day (7am to 10pm). And every weekend is spent studying. It is unfortunate but it is my best option for the time being, I will be back later on when I complete my schooling and buy a house with a nice garage. :D

Here is mine after I braced it, revised the T4 flange location, WG flange location and height, and thermal coated and wrapped it.

I added two rod braces, the one you can see here, and one more to the front of the flange. Both are located to the mounting flange, between bolts, so they do not compromise room to tighten up the nuts on the studs.

Here it is before I did any mods, just to see how it fits, and try and get an idea of what I needed to change to make it fit the way I wanted.

And this is everything back in place. Turbo is a MasterPower T70.
