I haven't bought this turbo yet, but a friend has the 18g turbo sitting at his house. So I brought it to my garage to see how it will bolt to the stock manifold of a sr20.

The flange is a T2 and it came with this Talon he bought.

In order for me to get the turbo to bolt to the stock sr20 manifold I had to clock the turbo. Now when I do this, the oil lines are not straight up and down and more horizontal. Also the internal wastegate, the bar doesn't line up the the flapper on the exhaust housing.

Can this turbo work? I am getting it for a good price and if I can make it work the better.

I also noticed that my stock exhaust elbow doesn't quiet line up even though it's a 5bolt flange, but I can fix that my drilling out the whole a little wider to make it line up.

I am also taking suggestions on which turbo I should run on a DD car. My goal in horsepower is no more then 350whp. At first it will be lower until I upgrade the ecu, maf, and injectors. I was thinking either a s15 t28, gt28rs, or a gt2871 .64. But I also see that I can get a t3/t4 and switch my manifold to a topmount.

Here are the pics.

18g Turbo

It bolts up but I had to clock the turbo to clear the bottom of the manifold

By clocking it this is how much the arm is off the wastegate (I had to take it apart so I could move the turbo so part of the arm is missing)

Here is the elbow not lining up to the holes, only off a hair, which I can solve by making the holes bigger
