    I picked up this 2000 GT with alot of work done to it. The last owner installed CG fab headers, hot pipe and had a pair of s300s installed that lined up nice and fit perfectly. I did not get the turbos with the car so I picked up a pair of Garrett 57mm TO4E. I set them on the flanges and the passenger side one hits the engine and doesn't come close to setting flat on the t4 flange. Then I noticed that the driver's side one is way far forward.....
    My question is,

    Just by looking at the pics are the turbine housings on these junk and making it so far out? The CG fab headers and piping is first class stuff and I don't want to cut and rotate the flanges on the pipes. Is there some other type of exhaust housings I can get for these that will fit better? Currently I have T4 aiResearch .96 on them now. I think they are "on center" type

    They appear to be on center turbine housings. The piping is designed for tangential (sp) or offset turbine housing. Get those and your problem will be fixed.

    X2 on the on center housings. The issue now becomes whether you want to spend $2-400 on housings, or spring for a pair of s300 turbos (the old To4's are very old tech, and the s300's are light years ahead, and worth the cash imo)

    Thanks for the input. I think I am going to end up getting rid of the pair and picking up a pair of s300s.
