Ok, I just recently purchased this turbo here:




Its off of a 2000 Saab. The turbo is a garrett t25 .42/.48. Somewhat small turbo but its for a budget D.


Now I'm getting the manifold, and just wanted to verify that the T2 flange (garrett t25 flange) is the one I need.

Here is a picture of the garrett t25 (t2) flange:


Here is the mitsu (also known as the DSM) t25 flange:




Now notice how my flange on my turbo has a circle, unlike the garret t25 flange, but it does seem to have the bolt spacing of the garrett t25 flange, and looks like it used a garrett t25 gasket (the square outline).

I know for sure that its not a mitsu flange that I need, but I just want to make sure the garrett one is the correct one.

Is having the square hole flange and then the abrupt change to a circle hole going to expletive up my flow way bad??

did you even read the thread?

I am 100% postive its NOT a dsm flange.

look at my sample dsm flange picture, and then look at my flange... the bolt spacing is completely different as is the orientation (90 degrees)

this is the OEM Saab gasket listed on their website.

So basically I'm looking at a nissan t25.. at least I hope they are the same.

Will having my manifold with the square port opening, and then having the turbo with the circle make a large disturbance in the flow? enough to effect anything if I'm only doing 7psi and for a daily?

you want a t2 flange the dsm is different, they made theirs all *** backwards

yea that the conclusion that I have come to.

you should be fine, its not the best but it'll work fine, if you look at the greddy kits its somewhat the same the outlet on the manifold is an oval and the turbo inlet is a rectangle so like i said it works but of course a topmount with a gt42r will be better

Umm get a ssauto chrome manifold off ebay ahah it like 50 buck, damn that turbo is ******* small lol

should have been more detailed in my response as you didn't understand. you need a nissan/garrett t25 flange. I have a couple already cut if you want $15 shipped each.

quick spool = fun daily though.

Just a project I'm putting together for cheap.

Tuning with the wideband and crome. Hopefully it'll rip enough to take out some wrx's from a roll (going in a gutted hatch with a d16y7)

it should be a ton of fun, supercharger like, i bet you could max out your stockmap sensor and still be way within the limits of the block, boost is way to addicting you say you are gunna run 7psi, but then it turns to 8 then 9, then all of a sudden you look at the boost gauge and you notice you are running 25psi daily
