High mount turbo setup

[xr6666turbo]

G'day boys

Can I have some opinion's on going to a high mount setup. I just like the overall look versus the standard set up. I'm not concerned about costs or power output. When people open the bonnet I want a " holy sh*t " reaction. I have 6 brothers that are hard to impress so give me your best setup options. I am going for 350+ rwkw.

you definitely don't need a high-mount setup if you're going for 350rwkw, if that's your only concern.

if you want aesthetics, too, then get any T3 manifold with any of a bunch of super-capable T3 turbo's and a custom intake/dump etc to suit.

Don't know what a T3 manifold is but I will check it out , thanks

[k31th]

T3 is the flange type that connects from the manifold to the turbocharger exhaust housing.

Keith, can you give me a couple of Turbo's to look at that would fit this set up, Thanks

And while were at it, an intake plennum preference.

GTX4202R would do the job for 600rwkw if you want to go that far and would suit the high mount better, but it's not a T3 turbo, it's a T4 turbo. If you want a specific T3, then probably the GTX3584R G2 is probably the best T3 turbo.

 

yours is a BF ute, right? if so and money is no object, then hypertune/plazmaman full replacement intake manifold. if you want cheaper then FG manifold replacement is good enough.

Thanks mate, appreciate your time.

I’m guessing you need exhaust modifications to run a hi mount manifold? They wouldn’t meet up to the standard exhaust would they?

Is there any benefits to using hi mount with the standard turbo?

[k31th]

yes, dump needs to be custom to suit a high-mount manifold setup.

 

benefits are look and heat dissipation.

Hey guys  

are there anyone that does like a high mount dump these days ? As I’ve noticed most ( hi mount style manifold ) if not all , place the turbo on a slightly different angle and position  however they all seem to relocate in the same position making me think there’s a niche product that should be making someone cash plus making it easier for the customer to convert to a high mount dump . Wishful thinking ??? I dunno ….. anyone ?
