None of the turbos hit block. Not sure if they would hit the side frame, as I already had my beaten back a good amount from my old cast Begi manifold.
Flappy paddle v-band? I am honestly not sure if there would be enough room if you cut the rear shelving or not, would probably have to cut more then just the lip.
EFR tactic would have real trouble with fitting a downpipe.
I don't think the t3 will work without heavy modding of the back shelf. The T25 should be doable. Brain covered what turbo they used.

Thank you so much for the pics.
so it doesnt look like the T3 with vband can fit a downpipe. not good.
but it does look like a T2 T25 sr20 turbo should fit.
from what i understand its an old BEGI knockoff, so it must have worked back in the day, i wonder what turbo it was originally made for? SR20?

Thanks so much!
yeah, not interested in getting this turbo.
Thank you for letting me know, today the T3 manifold and other stuff are scheduled to arrive, and now i can refuse delivery for a refund.
it seems i now have two options.
Option A: return T3 turbo and get a China GT2560R for ~$300-400 or a rebuilt garett for $700 + T2 tacotaco manifold + FM elbow and DP $500. + i will still need an exhaust made ~$500
Option B: Keep T3 turbo and get MK kit minus turbo.
I like option B much better.
Lars: Can you take an order from me for full kit minus turbo? or you prefer i return the turbo and get everything from you?
How long will it take to make the kit?
again thanks for all your help. this is my first ever turbo build and i admit that i am a

As for my setups if you already have the turbo I can take that out. Right now not taking more orders until I am done with my GB orders. I expect that to hopefully be around the end of March or April. Shoot me an email if you are seriously interested.

I don't suggest any of the China T25's. I have not seen one that I like spool wise. You can find SR20 T25's for $100-200 if you want to go the t25 route.

I got some goodies in the mail today.
Old style and new style FM upper downpipe.
The new style loosely attached to a 1.8 tacotaco and SR20 t25 exhaust housing.
The only possible issue I see is hitting the steering rack below. I will know later this weekend when I get a chance to install the full fm downpipe and a stock exhaust.
