    just finished hot side of install,I merged 2 3" pipes into the turbo flange it is a t6 but I didnt keep it close to the edge of the inlet going into the turbo there is about a 1/2" to 3/4" away from the edge,will this disrupt my flow going into turbo,if it does, I can redo it I have a adapter from 3" to 4" I squared the 4" side off but if I weld this to the flange and flow it into the turbo can I hook 2 3" pipes to the 3" adapter will this restrict flow with 2 3" pipes into one 3" pipe

    IMHO...

    Dual 3" pipes merging into one 3" pipe is a flow restriction to avoid.
    You should try to merge directly into 4" then square it off to the t-6 flange.

    A little work now can save you alot of work later if you find the restriction causes high back pressure and you have to disassemble everthing to rework the hot side.

    I looked at it last night again its a lot closer than I thought I am going to grind the flange on a angle to direct the flow to the turbo I think it should be allright,I will try to post a pic later tonite
