- Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:20 pm #187469 The smaller the turbo the easier it will be to keep your ac. A t3 or t25 ... or something that size should be fine.

Straight lines are for sissies.

- Wed Apr 14, 2010 3:49 am #187580 To be honest, I'd say a T3/T4 wouldn't be a good idea. Generally you don't see them less than about .40 trim, which as far as turbos go really isn't very small.

You said you bought a cast manifold but what is the manifold designed for a t3/t4 or a t25. Each manifold is designed with a certain turbo bolt pattern. There are adaptor plates from companies out there, but you need to know for what turbo your manifold was designed to be used together. BTW, the T25/28 is from the Mitsu Eclipse. Unless you are getting a verified rebuilt turbo, most may have shaft play and seals may be leaking. FYI>
