if the flange is the same as the ct26 youll be ok. if not you could get a cheap ebay mani.

without looking at the turbo thats the best i can do. my brother runs a t3/t4 hybrid and its a bolt on affair. YMMV

That would not be a bolt on. Looks to be T4 flanged to me although I could be wrong. You can get T4 exhaust manifolds off ebay for pretty cheap.

exactly now that ive seen it. its a divided t3 housing. get a cheap ebay mani, new dp, wg, dump tube and that should be a pretty fun turbo

edit: stupid fingers....

That's a divided inlet T3 flange. You can't bolt that to the ebay mani - but you CAN build an adapter to let you use the ebay mani.

If you wanted to really cheap out, use a stock turbo mani, and built an adapter.

Thats a divided T3 not a t4

He doesnt specify if the P trim is hot or cold side, but if thats hot side its very similiar to mine although my turbine is .63AR

lol, I wouldnt have either about 6months ago.

Basically, the "hot" side is what spins from the exhaust pressure. the "cold" side is the part that makes the power (well thats a simplified way to look at it). As for the numbers I was just saying that it was similiar to my turbo and I am happy with mine.

The P trim is a designation for turbine only ;)

A turbo is an exhaust-driven fan. The exhaust side has a fan that sits in the exhaust, and it spins. It is connected to a shaft that goes to another fan that pulls cold air in, and compresses it.

You can buy a housing that will let you bolt that turbo to the stock manifold.

I wouldn't buy it though, unless it had some receipt. Buying turbos from 3rd parties is always scary. It could die in a week and you would be screwed.

Be prepared to spend an extra $200 on the custom housing with internal wastegate, and $100-$150 for custom oil lines.

huh, I did not know that. Excuse me for showing my turbo ignorance. Trim numbers I have grasped the concept of. Trim letters never actually made sense to me, at least until I read your post on them in your section :)

OK so a Letter trim is sometimes used to designate the turbine wheel and its always a number for compressor. Got it, thanks.
