Default is the lebaron turbo a fit?

i can't tell if the lebaron turbo will fit in my setup...
i was at the junkard and found a later model lebaron gtc. from my search i can see that it would bolt up to the standard t3 manifold with minor modification... my question is will the exahust scroll bolt to a the standard 5-bolt? i have a drag downpipe. i looked through thedodgegarage.com and some of the posting on this site... i can't make a definate determination.

another side question, i've got a b18b... is this turbo too small?

thanx.

Yeah, I think a T3 is too small for you. I'm running a bigger T3 than this on my sohc 1.5 and I dont have much lag. This would definitely lose some breath up top on your B18.

i dont think that turbo you have if its really off a lebaron is a standard T3 flange. its probably the chystler flange with the offset bolt, and the bolts are father apart anyways.

example:

to use a chystler flange t3 you could have to use three of those and one of the offset ones. on that plate

you can immediately tell if it has the offset pattern. however...
if it was a 91-93, the dodge site states:
the exhaust housing which has a more "universal" flange pattern unlike the Turbo I, II and IV engines. It will NOT bolt to a regular SOHC exhaust manifold.
my question is will the exahust scroll bolt to a the standard 5-bolt?

are you asking if the exhaust housing is the normal 5-bolt pattern?

Yes... I would like to know, if my 5-bolt dp will bolt up to the turbo. Someone sent me pics but I still can't tell.

There are different turbos used on lebarons... the one i saw didnt' have the 3-bolt compressor inlet..

I guess im going to have to find out the long way... yank it off and look.
