Turbo Flange dimensions: How to Choose the Correct Flange For Your Turbocharger

All turbos come with Varying Flange dimensions, Some are universal, others are specific to the application they were intended for.

Most commonly on cummins applications we use one of the following 4 flanges.

Some products(All products can be customized):

T3: T3 Flange

T3 Exhaust manifold/turbo flanges are most commonly found on 5.9L Cummins from 1989-2007. This is the OEM Exhaust manifold and Turbo flange used on these year trucks. This flange typically allows for super quick spooling turbine housing options that are typically also wastegated to prevent overspeed.

A T3 Flange can either be divided or undivided (pictured above is undivided).

Divided flanges typically improve spool time due to the way they direct the airflow over the turbine.

We typically recommend a T3 Flange manifold and turbo setup for 5.9L Cummins applications wanting quick spool and less than 750HP. Although you certainly can make more than 750HP on a T3 setup, typically it is healthier and better to switch to a larger flange like the T4 flange mentioned in the next segment below.

T4: T4 FLANGE

T4 Exhaust Manifold and Turbo flanges are not found on OEM 5.9l or 6.7L Cummins applications or any other brand pickup truck for that matter.

T4 flanges can be found on many industrial applications and larger displacement Cummins/Caterpillar/Mack engines.

T4 Exhaust manifold and Turbo flanges are probably the most universal and versatile flanges available and are commonly swapped onto 5.9l and 6.7L cummins applications as well as performance Duramax and Powerstroke turbo setups.

The T4 flange turbochargers will typically flow more than the T3 versions and allow for larger A/R housings. Many turbos that are offered in T3 are also offered in T4 flanges. Our S300 Turbos can be had in T3 or T4 flange.

Divided flanges typically improve spool time due to the way they direct the airflow over the turbine.

Most T4 flanges are NOT wastegated. The larger A/R options that T4 flange turbos offer allow them to flow enough that wastegating is typically not necessary to prevent overspeed.

You can find T4 flange turbos used in many of our Custom Turbo Kits for the 5.9l and 6.7L cummins as well as for some powerstroke and duramax applications

T4-I:

T4-I flange’s are found on 6.7l Cummins applications as well as some industrial applications. This is the OEM flange for all 07-18 6.7l Cummins manifolds and turbos.

This flange is commonly confused with a T4 flange.

We make a T4-I flange non VGT setup for the 6.7L Cummins.

T6:T6 Flange

T6 Turbo flanges, The BIG boys. These flanges are typically only recommended on primary turbos in compound kits. These require another turbo to help spool them or a lot of fuel/displacement/rpm to spool them as a single turbo.

These turbos on any pickup application we reserve for compounds as mentioned above, or as single turbos for 1000+HP applications.
