[ineedacar]

hey is a turbo from a mitsubishi starion good? would it b an actual upgrade for my talon tsi? i think it is a direct bolt up to mine but is it bigger and also how would i b able to tell how good it is? i can spin the blades freely on both sides of the turbo so i think that is good. so wut else do i need?

The turbo could be a TCO5 12a 8cm2 or TDO5 12a 8cm2 (difference being the internal bearing setup).
Either way you are better off performance wise with a 14b.

The turbo would actually bolt up to your exhuast manifold if you reclock the housings, but then the wastegate actuator mounting points wouldn't line up. Also the S/C turbine housing has a 3 bolt outlet flange.
