[s-cars] GT2871 installation

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Brian,
I was the lister Teddy was referring to.  The difference is in the dimensions of the aftermarket KKK housing used to build the hybrid.  I used to get my hybrids from TEC.  The aftermarket turbine housing TEC used for their hybrids was dimensionally the same as an OE KKK housing, and therefore had no issues whatsoever on install.  I must have put at least a half dozen TEC hybrids into various cars with no issues.  I'm not sure where Javad is getting his turbos, or what source they use for the hybrid turbine housing, but it is clearly not dimensionally the same as a KKK housing... and the result is a mounting issue for the DP and the WG flex pipe.

Ted,

Ah HA! Finally someone who's fessing up. I posted a
while back and asked for anyone who had a 3071 and a
Stromung/Stock DP. No one answered. My 3071 had the
same issue only more like an inch toward the firewall
and over toward the fender. I ended up having to take
the car and get the wastegate tube butchered so it
would work.

I'm surprised no one else had this issue...
