t25 turbo compatibility?

[Keno1542]

i was reading somewhere that these models,1991-1998 Saab 9000, 1994-1998 Saab 900 and 1999 Saab 9-3, have garrett t25 turbos as well, just wondering if i could use one of these turbos as well, or are the flanges different?

yes they are garrett t25's but i wouldent use them they are smaller and more resemble the dsm t25's on the 2nd gen eclipse's. if i were to use any t25 to replace my stock one it would be a s13 sr20 t25. you could swap the housings from your stock msp turbo and clock the center cartridge and it would bolt right up. only down fall to this is they they are non ball bearing unlike the stock msp turbo which is dual ball bearing, which would mean a slightly slower spool. you can get the s13 t25's for around 100 bucks shipped if you look on places like www.zilvia.net, or www.ka-t.org . ive been looking into doing this my self so if you have any questions feel free to pm me. o and one more thing i think the saabs have the same t2 flange but im almost positive they dont have the 5 bolt exhaust side flange like the msp's do so it wouldent be a direct bolt up
