Progess pics. T25 on EF hatch *Now Running!*
Yes, you heard right. A t-25 turbo in an EF hatch with...get this....an HF manifold. Im really breaking some new ground here. 
ok, so maybe its been done before, but its a super-low buget project. Work has been a ----- lately so I have had very little free time to work on it. So far, i've got the turbo clocked and mounted (had to make some home-made snap-ring pliers. Harbor freight shipping is slow as *****. It's got a fresh MPFI swap on it (havent even driven on it), cleaned and balanced 450's and Turboedit (Xenocron kicks ***!) I still gotta figure out my CAS problem (no big), do the oil return and then do the FMIC plumbing and exhaust. Just thought i'd share.

Re: Progess pics. T25 on EF hatch
the whole oil return is being a major pain in the ***. Almost got it going. Had all my power tools, welder and ---- outside and out of nowhere it starts pouring. blar!
Just realized the DP I had is meant for having the turbine on the driver side, so imma have to get one fabbed up.

TunerToys. Its good quality stuff. The only thing I'm a tad apprehensive about is the fit on the return fittings. Not very snug, but I guess thats what clamps are for. I prefer a nicer 'bite' on the barbed fittings.

Ain't it tho!
It'll be my first experience with having a small turbo. Looking forwards to a fast spool. I got lucky. It seems to be in excellent shape. Kind of a bitch about the DP tho but I'll be ordering a flange today and gonna have it run 2 pipes (down pipe and separate dump tube).
Maybe I'll do something silly like have the dump tube come out the fender or something. LOL...or maybe not
