T6 INCONEL 625 TURBO INLET FLANGE 1/2″ HEAVY DUTY
KEY FACT
The T6 Turbo Inlet Flange is a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) Inconel 625 precision-machined component designed for Precision 88mm/94mm, Borg Warner S400/S475, and Holset HX55. CNC laser-cut to ±0.003-inch flatness, AMS 5666 certified, and priced at $143.96 — in stock with same-day dispatch.
SKU: TIFT6INCONELHEAVYDUTY
It fits large-frame T6 turbos — Precision 88mm and 94mm, Borg Warner S400 and S475, and Holset HX55 — using the T6 4-bolt inlet pattern (4 × M12). Manufactured from AMS 5666 Inconel 625, it withstands continuous temperatures to 1093°C (2000°F) — the mandatory alloy for extreme-boost, compound, and sequential turbo applications. The 1/2-inch heavy-duty thickness is recommended for diesel engines, large-displacement builds, and any setup with a rigid unsupported downpipe. Every flange is CNC laser-cut and surface-ground to ±0.003-inch flatness with bolt holes reamed to H7 tolerance, providing a gas-tight metal-to-metal seal without a gasket on properly prepared turbos.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the T6 Inconel 625 Turbo Inlet Flange 1/2″ Heavy Duty
Does this flange fit my turbo?
Yes — the T6 inlet flange fits large-frame T6 turbos, including Precision 88mm and 94mm, Borg Warner S400, S475, and Holset HX55. It is not compatible with T3 or T4 footprint turbos.
Why should I choose Inconel 625 for a turbo inlet flange?
Inconel 625 is the correct choice when sustained exhaust gas temperatures exceed what stainless can handle — typically builds making over 800 wheel horsepower, compound turbo systems, drag race engines, or any application with extended wide-open-throttle operation.
Should I choose the 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch thickness?
The 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) heavy-duty thickness is correct for diesel engines, large-displacement V8 builds, and any application where the downpipe is rigid and places bending stress on the flange. For lighter gasoline builds, the standard 3/8-inch option saves weight and cost.
How do I install the T6 turbo inlet flange?
Clean the turbo inlet face and remove all old gasket material. Align the flange with the 4 bolt holes and thread the M12 bolts in finger-tight. Torque in a cross pattern to spec (M8: 18–25 Nm · M10: 30–40 Nm · M12: 50–65 Nm). A 1/16-inch Cometic MLS gasket is recommended on builds over 25 PSI.
Does this flange need a gasket?
A gasket is not strictly required — the face is ground to Ra 1.6 μm, which creates a metal-to-metal seal on most turbos. However, a 1/16-inch multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket is recommended for builds over 25 PSI boost or on turbos with minor surface irregularities.
What is the price of the T6 Inconel 625 Turbo Inlet Flange 1/2″ Heavy Duty?
The T6 Inconel 625 Turbo Inlet Flange 1/2″ Heavy Duty is $143.96 per piece with free shipping on orders over $150. It is in stock and ships same day when ordered before 2 PM EST.
