T-bird has the IHI, the Merkur and SVO have the Garrett, that ad is for the Garret, it's better.

 

''I have not tested the turbo on my car since i decided to build the motor and go with nitrous because running a turbo car is expensive.''
hahaha load of ----
looks like a crock to me, turbos fucked and he cleaned it to sell

 

its not a Tbird turbo it say AR.49 on the exhaust housing
so im guessing it came from a volvo

 

Are you blind? It says .48 A/R. .48 A/R on the compressor side isn't a standard T3 size. It's a T25 from a sabb or volvo or something, because it has that 3 bolt downpipe connection, with the wastegate integrated into the housing.

 

almost right. T-bird had both depending on year.

But that is no T3. Looks to be a T25.

 

You 100% sure on that? I heard the T-Bird allways had the IHI. Somthing about it being a heavy turd and Ford wanted the faster spooling turbo in it to give the feeling of tourq.

 

 

Yes, I've pulled all 3 from T-Birds at the junkyard.
