please help Identify my turbo
 
Alright homemadeturbogoeres,
I would like to buy an inlet exhaust gasket and a down pipe flange for my turbo, but I’m not sure what type it is. I know you people have extensive knowledge about turbos, so I need some help with identifying my turbo.
I used to have pictures, but I can’t find them right now, so ill give as many clues as possible.

1. When I bought the turbo from the junkyard, it had "97 Saab" written on the intake pipe that was connected with 2 bolts to the turbo.

2. It’s a Garrett turbo, because on the housing is inscribed "Garrett"

3. The exhaust inlet has the bolt pattern of a t25 (4 bolt), because a t25 gasket fits the bolt pattern.

4. The exhaust inlet is a circle

5. The exhaust exit is a triangle (3 bolts) pattern
If there is any other info that I should look for that could help us out, please let me know.
Ill see if i can get some pics up

Does Saab still use t3's in there newer models? Cause I’m thinking this turbo came out of a 97

i also bought T25 oil lines and they fit. Does a t25 have a circular exhaust inlet, or a 3 bolt pattern for the downpipe flange?

This is what the exhaust inlet for the turbo looks like.
It's a little smaller than a t3, and the bolt pattern,compared to a t3, is off by about an inch or less.

I was trying to check out some saab sites for what that turbo is. What exact car is it off of? All I found out was that they changed away from normal T3s but to what??

You see the thing is, i dont know what car its from. I assume its from a 97 saab, and i have discovered that the newer saabs use TD04 turbos. This turbo however, is like no TD04 i have ever scene.
