Just for a reference my old E-MotorUSA 2870 had the standard 5 bolt flange. It fit perfectly on my begi setup, it just spooled super shitty. I know TurboTim has the turbo now. If you are looking for something cheap you might want to contact him. I don't think he is ever going to end up using it.

Just buy a used 2 bolt tial for $150 and abe can make you a dump.

That is 46mm inducer. Will spool faster than 2871. Nice big A/R turbie housing. T4 divided goodness if you want to get a twinscroll manifold. Yes it can probably do 350hp but it will also be great at 200hp and you can run all the timing.
I can't believe it. Nicencute is FOURHUNDRED DOLLARS. HOW CAN U SAY NO

Dunno yet, they're shut down on weekends.
It doesn't take a lot of fab work, abe could have done it easily, but I wanted it compatible with other Garretts and I wanted a separated gas downpipe.

I'm turning this into a build thread. Because I can! It'll be a place for me and Abe to dump pictures and such. Hopefully it'll end up as a budget turbo system that's track reliable, for others to follow suit.
The $65 T25 is here, as soon as I figure out which rebuild kit I need then that'll be on the way. Return shipping label has been forwarded to Abe, that was a fail but oh well.
Cold side intercooler piping is done, including my unconventional BOV placement.
Hot side is mocked up, I haven't cut the 90* pipe to length yet, as I'll have to figure that out once the manifold gets here. At least I can cut some holes in my ducting.
And my proposed filter location, obviously not cut down yet.

I called them. They answered after 3 rings, i said I bough it on eBay, and it didn't fit a standard t25 flange. "ok so it's a fitment problem?"
"yup"
And that was the conversation. She emailed me a return slip which I forwarded to Abe. It's up in the air as to when I get my money back.
