Turbo upgrade

I've been boosted for 6 months now using a t3 turbo with a 48 ar or so. Thing is that I'm bored with 8 psi now and I was goin for 10 to 12 psi and I was told my turbo would be too small for that so I went and got a garrett t3/t4 with a 61 ar and when I replaced turbos the new turbo was hitting on the fan since I got an ebay bottom mount cast manifold. I have no complaints on the manifold but I need a new one so I've seen a tubular manifold top mount and yes on ebay for a good price and I was wondering if they are any good . If not any advices ??

get a dremel and cut the excess fan off so its not in the way! Problem solved!

I was kidding. Measure the dept of your fan that you have now and search on line for some slimmer fans. I am using two mishimoto 10" slim fans.

You should have kept your original turbo.

Was good for over 400whp.

That turbo running at 8psi wasn't even working yet.
