The 2g turbo its a T-25 and yes it says garrett but on the hot side housing its t3 flanged and the wastegate acuator its kind off small. but why are you asking this looking for one?

 

[doubleclutch99]

It's a dsm flange not a t3 flange, and the cold side has a curved outlet going to the intercooler

well is the turbo any good or should i use my ported 1 g

 

[jjrock5]

Use the 14b, if that's what you mean by "ported 1 g"

 

[95weclipse]

i have a ported 1g from a 90 talon so i should use that ?

 

[invictus]

If its from a M/T car yes cause its a 14b and if its from an A/t no cause its a 13g.

 

[95weclipse]

yes its from a manual so sweet then i just need the j pipe correct?

And an oil return line unless you plan on modifying the one for the T25. Here's a picture of the T25 (left) against a 16G (right):

i guess the best advise would be dont use the t25 at least get a 16g t25 its a very quick spooling turbo but just aint shit at the track, but if that all u can afford then do it bruh

 

[95weclipse]

ok then what should i use for a turbo timer?

i have a greddy PRofec turbo controler but no actual knobs or any thing just controler

 

[AllShallPerish]

You dont need a turbo timer. Is this turbo going on a 420A?

 

[95weclipse]

no its a 95 gst i just got it a few weeks ago and i havent changed my car thing yet sorry ill do it now

ok now i am really lost

now i see that some people just run the vacuum line from the housing to the waste gate and then i here people have turbo controlers and turbo timers

what do i need to do or get and what is the diff?

On an original setup, a vacuum line will connect the wastegate, the compressor housing, the boost control solenoid (the OEM method of measuring/controlling boost pressures), and likely some other lines.

Technically, you don't need any of it. But if you are looking to have a bit of fun, you can certainly look into a manual boost controller (your turbo controller). Everyone here knows that if you decide to install such a controller, you better install an aftermarket boost gauge as well since the original unit is not accurate at all for translating boost pressures. Steer clear of turbo timers; they are not necessary at all.

Before purchasing a manual boost controller, I suggest doing some reading to understand what is involved with boost control:

Then, if you choose to purchase a manual boost controller, I suggest reading here to find out the best method to installing it:
