T25 or the 14b? You can search on the classifieds or some of the dsm forums, ebay, or craigslist. I found this tool that makes searching cl a lot easier searchtempest.com hope that helps

Made that search easy. If your not looking at building the block those turbos will work fine on a budget build.

The T25 from an eclipse still uses a radius flange and not the rectangular T25 that you're used to seeing. you have to use the Mitsubishi O2 housing that they come with, and bolt a 2 bolt exhaust flange to match to it. You'll need to use a T3 to Radius flange adapter to do this. This is why it is such a pain in the *** to do, because you get almost no benefit from it.. even if running "a couple of psi"

Go to the DSM forums, they'll get either one to you. The only reason why they even sell those is because something is wrong with them and they're waiting for someone like you to think that it can be repaired "on the cheap" to use later. In this situationThere is no better between a 14b and a T25 because they are all bad.

Umm actually NO. Actually you'd be better off with an OEM factory turbo than Ebay garbage. you'd have NO power with one application vs going NO WHERE with the other.

Get real equipment and quit playing games.
