so my ct26 is about to blow, and im on a very tight budget. this guys got a t3/t4 turbo that he bought for a civic and i can buy it from him for $175. i think it also comes with an external wastegate.
will the t3 bolt up to the stock header? or do i have to drop 40 bucks on an adapter with a wastegate flange? its from "jdmsport" or something on ebay.

and yes i know ebay turbos are usually shit. but i only need it to get me by untill i can get a decent bolt on upgrade.

so what do i need here? the adapter or a aftermarket header? also where would i find a 5 bolt elbow to fit this?

The ct-26 dont fit t4. you would need an adapter. I think the best thing is to find a cheap ct26 to bolt on becous it will probably cost as much as rebuild it to fit an other turbo.and easier.
That's just what i think.

I agree with absolutjimmy_85, look for a used stock ct26 until you can afford the $600 or so for a decent CT26 bolt-on upgrade. You can find them on this site, ebay or craigslist on a regular basis
