That one is for the inlet of the comprssor not the outlet. You can put your intake on that one.

The one on ebay is also for the inlet.

Weir from homemadeturbo.com sells the part you want. "T3 compressor outlet reducer" it opens up into 2.5in piping

no, that's a ford turbo alright.

the mercedes housing has a straight back outlet with 3 bolts.

you can get about $25 for that 90 degree outlet on ebay though...considering its brand new svo/tbird guys will snap it up

edit: also, yeah that's a tbird turbo. You can swap it to a normal t3 compressor housing though if you can find a compressor housing from an 84-86 svo mustang. They had the normal round outlet so they could dump into the intercooler which was mounted right above the turbo on the engine.

cant do this with an 87-88 tbird compressor housing though since it still has the 2 bolt holes as they changed the intercooler design for the tbirds since the hoses kept popping off on the svo's
