someone tell me about this turbo!
the guy i bought it off of (ebay) said that the turbine was from a 300zx and the compressor was from a saab 900. i have to get a custom downpipe flange made cuz nothing fits. is this what my turbo is, or is it something different. he said the a/r was .63... is all of this bullshit? i'm just looking online and i'm seeing these 300z downpipes that dont look anything like that wierd *** flange....

Re: someone tell me about this turbo! (Dustorm)
okay stop ******* talking about the carpeting. it was funny the first 5 thousand posts. i really need to find out if this turbo is legit.
does that look like a 300z turbine?
and where can i get a flange for the downpipe that wuld fit? 5 bolt DOES NOT fit!
every time i ask a turbo question the only thing anyone ever comments on is the carpeting!

I guess that means nobody knows! Get a magnifying glass and try to pick up the clues Sherlock!
If worst comes to worst get some like 1/2" thick steel plate and use a sabre saw to make your own flange. I've never seen that one before.

Make a paper copy of the flange and find a machine shop that does waterjet cutting and have a flange made. As for the specs, you can't tell anything by the pics.

Re: someone tell me about this turbo! (sutrusu)
That's a T3 exhuast side for sure. You're missing the flange that the downpipe would bolt to. Check:
http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm
The second flange from the bottom is what you'll need if you're going to run an external wastegate. If you're running internal you'll have to get one off of someone. The intake side is harder to figure out, but I'm guessing it'd be a t3 also. I doubt someone would lie about a more expensive part (t04e) and say it's a cheaper part (t3) if they were selling/giving it away. Just wouldn't make sense.
Good luck,
Ryan P.
*nevermind on the intake part...I just re-read your post and saw that it's from a Saab...no clue about that*

Re: someone tell me about this turbo! (mplex2000)
It's not a standard T3 flange, that's his problem. He said the 5 bolt flange does not bolt up.
i bought a standard t3 downpipe and it didnt fit so i sold it to someone on here.
