Default Turbos Interchangable Without Changing Piping? TURBO BLOWN

So my junkyard turbo gave way on me this week, shes seeping oil out the hot side and im burning oil out of my exhaust. Cant take it anymore

Needs to be replaced

The turbo is a t3 .60/.63, garrett with a 5 bolt flange

I personally want to spend very little on the replacment turbo (SSAUTO) but they dont sell .60/.63's obviously. I probably even want to step down a size as this thing is kinda of unusable and I dont like the powerband.

Is it possible to buy another turbo and have my downpipe, dump (runs soooo close to the dp!) etc all change over

Or will I have to redo everything?

My downpipe was litteraly made to run about 1/4" away from my oil pan so that pretty much cant move.

Need to know what sizes will work

Thanks

I thought the cold compressor side changed the spool time?

I dont really mind if the compressor side changes as I would like to redo my pipe coming off of it anyways, but its like my hot side to basically stay the same dimensions

I wouldnt mind getting boost a little quicker to, this thing isnt @ 15psi til 4500 and the tires are just roastin

Just buy a new center cartridge nad you will be good to go. Way cheap, and everything stays the same.

Just send it to Blaast performance. His rebuild prices seem very reasonable.

I dont have that kind of downtime

This turbo still works, just smokes

I either need someone to sell me a center catridge or I need a new turbo and then I will send it off for rebuild
