new turbo need help
 
2 Attachment(s)
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.

T25/T28 downpipe flange

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.
