how about some pics? Every saab that I know of uses a standard T3 flange. Maybe the owner swapped out the turbo for a mitsu or IHI?

it will not fit, non of them will. i did the same thing and am still in the same boat.

greddy manifolds come with a 15g turbo. i think its made by mitsu.

i think the old volvo turbos will fit, its like the 83-86 ish ones made by mitsu

i just got an adaptor plate from sgoertz@sbcglobal.net at bmc he is in the forsale threads
and has the hook up for hmt members.....

so you have a greddy manifold and trying to bolt on a t3 manifold?

okay here goes it has the flange of a t25 not a mitsu. flange which is a square...
this one is like the t3 but is smaller. i know greddy uses the mitsu. turbo
but the actual flange that they use on their b and d series turbo kits is the
t25....also the turbo does say airResearch and has the .42/.48ars on them...
but i didnt want to deal with the flange difference in my setup and took it back
for an exchange today...thanx guys---t3boosted_dc
