Ford Turbo?
 

I can get a 2.3 Turbo motor (ford) pretty cheap... I am looking for information on what turbo it has, etc?

Thanks
Adam

I believe its 11 for autos 15 for manuals.

The manuals trans ran higher boost than the autos by 4 psi or so.

Oh someone said they 87-88's were not T3's but IHI's instead. Your right but the IHI was still a T3 just no longer a garrett. The Garrett's are better many swap to them from the IHI's

That's the one I got. Took it to Turbo city and the guy said the WG started to open at 7psi. FYI. Don't worry, I WILL fix this. ;)

IHI wasn't a T3 without the Garret name. It just had a T3 flange. IHI is a totally different turbo company.

mfpmax,

I realise they are completly different turbos. I've owned both years of thunderbirds. Anyways I'm just stating that its still a T3 thats all i was saysing, nothign else implied.

Re:Ford Turbo?
 
Alright...its just how it is being said...some may not understand that its only the flange. Seen it on ClubSI where a whole thread of misinformation was being tossed around about the T3 and IHI turbos.

Re:Ford Turbo?
 
anyone know where I can get a 5-bolt exhuast flange that will fit the ford turbo, but not the factory one that tends to "right angle" directly into the block ?

Damn, that's some good info. I have looked for a list like that to add to the FAQ, but couldn't come up with a very good one. Thanks man. :)
