088 turbo question

[ah1988ford]

I have a 088 turbo I want to put a 4 bolt housing on I just don't know the size. they refer to the sizes like .63 .71 .82 etc.... which one do I need? there was an old post about this but the member ended up welding on his old one they never determined a size? I m all new really to turbo's not sure how the determine the size?

I wish I could help you man. I deal with a lot of turbos but mainly bigger stuff and conversations. @Thewespaul might know or probably @typ4

You mean to eliminate the slip fit into the back of the turbo?

Yes go to a T3 bolt up

The 085 kit (same cartridge) uses a .96 housing

I can also confirm I remember such a post about the 088. It was a 1.00 or there abouts (as said abouve the 085 was .96). I put a 60-1 compressor side on along with a .59 turbine side and it puts about 10 psi at 2k. I have a external tial wastegate set 10 psi so I am not sure where it would really go.
