Straight Or Angle Flange?

Some 96/97 850R's came with 16T straight flange. Yes, the exhaust housings on TD04HL turbos are interchangeable by removing the center band clamp. I recently bought a conical 15G from Phil (Volvoluvin) off his 95 T5R, machined the compressor housing to fit the 18T wheel, and I'm still sourcing out an angled exhaust housing. The other option is, of course, to try and port out the exhaust outlet on the conical, pair it up to a reducer at the flange, and make my own custom 3" DP. It just makes more sense to swap out the housing and bolt on a ready-made 3" downpipe like OBX or iPD.

If you can't find one up there, I have a '99 angle flange housing I can sell you $90 US + shipping @ cost :D

angle flange is considerably better flowing.

Thanks for the offer, but I actually finished the 18T w/ angle flange. Here it is with Phil (Volvoluvin's) old conical 15G.

The straight flange is not nearly as awful as the conical! :lol: Those conical downpipes are insane.
