You need Port and polished inlet and exhaust manifolds. Red heat shields. Billet oil caps. A can of black hi temp paint.

Meaning you cant use the stock 1.06 A/R T3 exhaust turbine housing. You would need an aftermarket manifold, dump pipe, oil/water lines, intake etc etc. if you were to go to this much trouble there are more suitable turbo's available.If this hasn't put you off then the fact that a GTX3582r that will fit the stock turbine housing and manifold actually flows MORE than a GT3788r. Stick with the latest technology available when it comes to turbocharging 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84431-things-to-change-on-a-bf-f6-to-run-a-garrett-gt3788/page/2/#findComment-1376177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted1 Member 346 Member For: 16y 4m 19d Posted 31/03/13 09:19 AM Share Posted 31/03/13 09:19 AM (edited) all bs aside you could run a hta3794r in a stock 1.06 housing. the rear housing just has to be profiled to suit the slightly larger turbine wheel, cost round 300 to 400 dollars. doesnt have rediculous lag, full boost by round 3300 to 3500 (20psi)but if I was you the gtx is hard beat for price and results Edited 31/03/13 09:21 AM by Boosted1 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84431-things-to-change-on-a-bf-f6-to-run-a-garrett-gt3788/page/2/#findComment-1376190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big flow for a compact T3 footprint..... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84431-things-to-change-on-a-bf-f6-to-run-a-garrett-gt3788/page/2/#findComment-1376254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
