Im pretty sure it is a T3 but wait until it arrives before speculating.

blu89crx

yea....but say this is the t25 or w/e....i did a lil bit of reading and from what i found its not a standerd t25 flange...like a dsm one? so is this thing even usable...i found some adapter plates on bmc race for a t25 but they were for a dsm...

can somebody help me?

Wait till you have it and can measure the flange.

Exactly. Unless you know the specific year and model it came from, there's no way to tell. At one point, Saab used three different turbos in the 9000 and 900, two different Garretts and a Mitsu.

The info I posted above should help you narrow it down.

They are one of the sponsors on HMT. http://www.bmcrace.com/products/flanges/ T25 Garrett Turbine Inlet
(not DSM)W/8-1.25MM Threaded Bolt Holes . My turbo has the treaded bolts on it, so i'm goona have to dril the threads out from the flange. Ask them if they make one w/out the threaded bolt holes.

Also i'm using the DIY log mani from tunertoys, and they only had one with a T3 flange, but sold it to me for 20$less w/out the flange. So i'm not using the adapter plate, but bmcrace.com might have it. just depends what mani u got.
