3" Turbo Exhaust lane for 87TII?

Racing Beat only lists a 2.5" Turbo-Outlet flange, Turbonetics doesn't list one, TurboCity doesn't list one HELP!!!!! For a T-18 Hitachi, Stock 87TII

PS My plasma cutter isn't beefy enough to cut my own flange

There's a reason - the hole at the back of the turbo is only 2.5". Any 3" exhaust going to the stock turbo necks down to 2.5" at the turbo's outlet.

This really isn't a big deal, BTW.

Really, all that will give you is a leg up in a dick size contest. Unless you put a new back plate on the turbo, the hole on the back plate and the hole on the gasket is only 2.5".

Even if you fabbed a new back plate, you still have a tiny turbine and a wastegate that's dumping into the exhaust flow at a 90 deg angle.

Hell, buy the JIC Spec 90 all 90mm system for the stock turbo...

What is pointless you are refering to?

I hope it's not going to a 3" exhaust (I didn't really understand the previous posts). A good 3" exhaust with a stock turbo can up your HP by 50 at the wheels... plus you can do it for a couple hundred bucks only.
