PT88 on a 231ci motor?

[Cheeseburger]

Anyone try an 88 with a 231?
Have a problem, my dp was matched to a 88 and the dp bolt holes do not line up with my 76.
Wonder if there is a custom exhaust housing i can use to make it work with the 76gtq.
Might have to get an 88 or a new dp.

Shawn/Big Dave's turbo was a 80MM T04 Framed Housing.

The 88 will not work, quit while you are ahead.

Send me the 88 and the down pipe. I think you may have a problem on your end. I'll let you know if it bolts up on my setup.: D

I do not have an 88.

Thought you did by asking if anybody tried it. Somebody did do this out west and it did not work too well, no surprize.

It looks like i will have to make up a adapter flange to get the downpipe to work.........glad i sold my 3.5'' dp that would have worked.

Was that the guy that was running a shot of nos to get it spooled?

Ryan Guy was running a little N2O to get things going.

I spoke to Ryan very briefly at Turbo Thunder 5 last year, and he went with a smaller turbo because he was frustrated that the car could run a 9.9x but "couldn't do a burnout." (his words) It still had N20 lines hooked up.
