I got the T3/t04e today, and it's f*cking HUGE! :eek: I'll post pics a little later of comparisons between my 16G, and it. The SS VPE O2 housing came about a week ago. I was all excited, and planned to put it on sometime this week. The O2 housing doesn't fit though. The flange is in the shape of a T3, but it's smaller than it should be, and the bolts don't line up at all. It's almost like someone made a flange, and shrunk it down a bit. Anyone know what could be wrong? The exhaust housing on the turbo itself is clearly a T3, but the O2 housing just doesn't fit. I'll contact VPE, but I don't know if there's anything he can do about it because it's a custom made part. :(
 
i hate that shit. you wait for a part and it is not right/ made shitty. don't know what to tell you though except for having someone fabricate a custom flange for the o2 housing and weld it on for you. if you are willing to wait i would contact the place and send it back.

I will get ahold of him. I'm sure it's not something he knew about, so I'm not blaming him for anything. The flange just looks to have been cut wrong. The shape is right, but it's about half an inch smaller than it should be. Otherwise the piece was beautiful.
