Thanks for the info lightshow is there a place on the internet that sells some of the stuff that is a good sight or am i on my own to find stuff in junk yards?

 

yeai would do ebay.....and junk yards. it depends on which manifold you want to use too. ill get back to you later after class.

 

Okay i'm going up to a few local salvage yards this weekend to poke around alittle bit and see what i can come up with. Is there anything else that i should keep my eyes peeled for while i'm there? I'll post back and tell you guys what i bring home, that is if i can find anything worth bringing home...

 

flomasta there's a junk yard called spaldings I believe in spokane that is HUGE and will find/ship you stuff from there... If you can't find it then call them you can get almost anything... I mean ACRES big...


http://www.spaldings.com/ <---- their site... but I'd probably just call them... they also give you ratins on the condition of the items you are looking for...

 

okay so i didn't find anything at all worth buying at the auto salvage yards, i guess i need to just stay on top of ebay to find what i'm looking for.

 

yeah, and sorry, it was suppose to be an eclipse gst or gsx both of which have a garret T25 turbo with internal wastegate. I just opted to buy my turbo on ebay for 265+shipping got a t3/04E..... I am having trouble finding a good cast iron manifold for around 300 bucks.... which is the cost i am aiming for.... I guess it just means i have to be willing to spend a bit more.

 

so if i find the intercooler and manifold i would be able to put any turbo on there or is there bolt pattern differance or are they all pretty much the same?

 

No, you need to make sure the turbo fits the manifold. There are a few different flanges out there, namely t3, t4, t25. There are plenty more, but the point is you need to makes sure they are the same flange or things won't line up.

The intercooler does not connect directly to the turbo, but through piping, so your main concern is manifold and dowpipe flanges.

 

manifold, turbo and downpipe flanges all need to connect and line up so is it easy to tell which ones will bolt up no problem, or are there numbers on them or do you just have to know?

 

There is a turbo header at www.f22parts.com for 500$ is this the kinda thing i need to be looking into?
