Anybody had any experience trying to fit the old version sc46 which came with the mitsi compressor and exhaust housings rather than the blouch to a hatch?

Mainly regarding fly by wire throttle body issues

Been speaking to Kev @ SC who has been great help but although never fitted old version sc46 to hatch reckons itll fit with a custom silicone joiner between turbo and Y pipe

Turbo itself needs a new core which isnt a problem , and ideally need to do a trial fit before buying the new core but just wondering if anyone else had fitted one before i go down the trial fit route

Cant flip throttle body 180 degree either as still on top mount

 

looks like its a cut/weld job of compressor outlet to get a bit of angle round the flybywire throttle body

basically a td05 20g compressor cover as seen here :-

 

The older design sc46 exhaust housing was known to crack until they redesigned it.
So just for your reference

 

Off set joiner sorted mine out as my FP turbo was very close to the fly by wire throttle

 

Yep had read that, all welds look grand (to me) but will be getting checked over also

Offset joiner as in the silicone hose from turbo to Y pipe? If so which one did you use?

 

Sorry must of read it wrong ,,,turbo to FMIC piping as mine was hitting the throttle body so the offset joiner moved it across out of the way

 

ahh im still on top mount but can you get me a pic of your turbo/throttle body area just for reference? Cheers

 

Not the best pic but you can see it's still very very close lol , doesn't cause any problems though

 

ooh tight enough lol
