ok i bought a garrett t25 off of a nissan 300zxtt. the turbo only had about 100 miles on it and i got it for a steal. well my problem is finding a downpipe or even just a flange to fit it.
any help is greatly appreciated.

also is this precision intercooler too big to use for about 5psi and on a 2000 civic dx?

also have another question, when i clock the turbo to where i need it, i wont be able to hook up the internal wastegate because there is not bolt holes all the way around it, has anyone ever heard of using a small spring to hold the wastegate closed? if so, does it work well?

Flange on ebay for $25 shipped. Just make sure you get a weldable flange. Preferably mild steel. And at least a 1/2" thick.

Unless you wear a bigger shoe than Shaq, that intercooler isn't too big.

Good job buying the one turbo that nobody makes a flange for. Find someone that will CNC one for you. Or plasma cut a piece of 1/2" plate. As far as being an -------....welcome to HMT.

thats weird. ive never seen a garret turbo downpipe flange with only 4 bolts.

this should fit. it has the extra mounting hole you can weld solid.

It won't work. In the photo, you can see the flange needs to dip down further on the wastegate side.

The only options are to find a downpipe and cut and weld the flange from that, or to have one made. Me personally, I'd plasma one. Not pretty, but this is HMT - A major cause of the recent spike in JB Weld prices.
