Il have pics up in like a min or two im still hosting them with image station....i was told its off a mistu but who knows......

 

here is the fisrt picture, to the right is a t25, to the left is a??


here is the in let it says "AIReasearch" and has a straight inlet unlike the t25


last picture is the exaust housing side of the turbo it says garret


so what turbo do i have?? i can take more pictures if needed TIA

 

I am pretty sure that the AIResearch turbos off of a Saab were straight t3s, correct me if i am wrong.

 

The exhaust housing flange is a T3 flange..

 

hmmm so i know its a T3....how would i knwo what teh wastegate is set at?? also it has a compressor size number on it let me get the number....

 

alright it has a AR .48, so i know that applies to one side of the turbo, it has a slight crack on top of the turbo housing, can those usually be welded??? il have a pic up in a few....

 

heres the crack


fixable yay or nay?? and wastgate is set at?? also the turbo volvo turbos i can use for parts this turbo is missing right?

Thanks alot u guys

 

Outch.. I would have that welded.. Dont use some ghetto fix on the exhaust housing..

Easy test for the wastegate.. Go out and get a pressure regulator from home depot(about $20 or so).. Hook up and air hose to one side of it and the other side goes to your wastegate through a hose.. Put an accurate boost gauge on the regulator so you can see what the pressure is.. Then turn the regulator and feel the wastegate.. When its about 45% to 55% opened look at the gauge and thats an estimated guess of your boost.. I did this and it worked great..

 

that is a T3 like they said
more than likely a straight t3


the wastegate more likely is like 7......judgin by what the stock specs are no manufacturers


that housing is foked


u need to bake that thing to 450 degrees and keep it there for 10 minutes

then weld it, and keep it hot for at least 6 hrs afterwards and reduccing at least 100 degrees every hour.. that will make sure the weld stays there and wont brake no more

 

thanks guys for the info , one last thing should i rebuild that t25 tahts in the picture (new seals) or should i make a adapter plate for the T3 and get it welded??? its going on z6 FYI

 

I would use the T3..

 

I have a t3 (.42/.48) and I think I would go with the t25, if I had to do it again. I autocross my car and could use a bit more response, but if you're planning on doing more drag-type racing, then I'd go with the t3, I suppose.

im going to go with the T3 then, all i have to do is make an adapter plate for my Vx manild and weld the top of the manifold and im set, im more into 1/4 deal i dont need it to be responsive so i think im good to go......thanks for the link Jalopy
