Twotone gets a turbo
Suh dudes i have a 1990 1.6 and its finally time to get the turbo installed lol not yet. I fried my stock clutch so once that gets replaced with the FM happy meal boost will happen. So far my kit includes t25 from and sr20, taco burrito cast manifold, custom down pipe, rx8 yellows, braineack ms, ebay intercooler pieces. My goal is 200whp but i don't want to put too much boost into my SNC 1.6 so ill take what ever 8-9 psi gives me.

You're getting constructive criticism now but you refuse to accept it
*I reread this quote again....
Guy in said town using a tacochalupachimmiechonga manifold and has a flange that is at a 45* angle and moves it in front of cyl 2? Sounds pretty ghetto...

I thought you had a 1.8. Yes the 1.6 tacotaco puts the turbo at an angle. Using an adapter plate is just adding more receipe for failure. You now have 2 surfaces that have to be completely flat to seal. Thats more places for studs and such to stretch and loosen and have leaks.
Buy a damn t3 turbo and use it like Deezum does.

If the budget allowed I would have gotten a FM or Begi manifold. I know that eBay turbos have a good rep on this forum but I'd rather have the reliability of a garret. I decided I'd rather have the failure point be the adapter plate than the turbo. Yes my jimmies have been rustled I'll admit it but I have a local that's willing to help me and his setup has proven to be budget friendly and reliable. Cheap fast reliable I chose cheap and reliable
