hi I am looking at putting in a T3 turbo into my svt contour, I am currently rebuilding the entire motor and thought this would be a perfect time to put this turbo to good use. My only issue so far is finding the turbo header and down pipe, then I stumble upon a set including both headers, piping to the turbo, down pipe, and a new y-pipe, the only thing is its for the ford probe 2.5v6 will this fit or am I better off to keep looking

No different in more ways then 1. And id shy away from the t3 turbo depending on the size
Your spool time would be very fats but would run out of steam higher in rpms.

A T3/T4 hybrid with at least a 0.63 A/R turbine housing (twin scroll housing is preferred) would better suited.

If you have the money, this is probably be best turbo for the application: http://www.full-race...7670-turbo.html

He told me he has a kit that bolts to the factory manifolds and y-pipe
The big issue I am having is the tune. I have a weird hybrid build blended with parts of an ADC kit and the older NPG kit with a big a$$ Garrett DBB. I think I would have enjoyed the Supercharger a little better.

Also, I had a heck of a time passing emissions with aftermarket headers. Our car needs 3 cats to pass and I only use one now

i had checked them out the only thing is they haven't been returning my emails, I've ordered parts from them in the past but it always seems to take them a while to ship a part, I've been waiting over 2 weeks now for a set of headers to ship

Don't be discouraged from the guys at nautilus. They really aren't a big company yet. They just redid their website and all and have been growing quite a bit. They are probably just busy or something. If memory serves me right, they originally started with two guys from the CEG side. They have branched out a bit but definitely have the contours down pat. I would say keep trying.

Honestly I think Joey is moving onto the Fusion platform and they are getting somewhat away from the Contour stuff. I've had plenty of complaints about their equipment sold (i.e. CAI, fuel rail products and such) that I'm not suprised they are moving on. The headers are straight from MSDS direct... But who knows what's the story on that.
