Garrett T25 question!
Hey guys new to HMT came from lame HT, just have a couple of questions.
My friend is looking to boost his d and has a garrett t25 off of a 98 Eclipse GST i believe sitting in his garage that he'd like to see put to use. My question is what manifold will work for him? I have an extra greddy manifold lying around and he'd like to buy it but i don't want him to waste his time getting it from me and it not working?
Thanks

To the OP. People are knockin you because you asked a really simple question. I'll answer it because I just did a clutch job in a 3000GT VR-4 that took way too long and I've passed the angry/tired stage and I'm now delirious and kinda happy really ahaha!
So I'll answer your question and then explain flanges a little. No, your Greddy manifold won't work with his DSM turbocharger because DSM's use a specific 4 bolt flange that won't bolt to whatever your manifold is. IB your manifold is T2 flanged, so that wouldn't work with a DSM turbo. DSM turbo's are oddball though. They stay popular because the 14b and 16g, and even the Garrett (but Mitsu flanged) T25 turbos are popular for HMT set-ups.
Every turbo has a specific exhaust inlet flange (i.e t2,t3, t4, t6, dsm, 3 bolt, even v-band, etc). As does every manifold. For the turbo to bolt to the manifold they have to have matching flanges. So your manifold would have to be the 4 bolt DSM style flange to accommodate the DSM T25 that is also a 4 bolt DSM flange. Starting to make sense? Your manifold is probably T2 flanged, so made to accommodate a T25 or T28 or any T2 flanged turbo, but since that DSM T25 is made for a Mitsu and has the 4 bolt DSM flange; it won't bolt right up.
There are ways around that though. You can buy adapter plates. I'm sure they make a T2 to 4 bolt DSM adapter plate you can buy. You can also just weld the turbo right to the manifold, or drill/tap into the turbo or manifold's flange, but I don't think that would work in this case. It's very simple though. Manifold and turbo have to match. You can figure that out with a measuring tape. That's why you got so much ---- for posting the question. That's not HMT spirit if you can't figure something that simple out, but like I said; I'm all delirious, so there's your answer and then some ahaha.
