Just be careful that they do not use proprietary flanges, or you will have to engineer/fabricate around that. Just another reason why I advocate the use of SR20DE-T T25's/28's as they use common Garrett flanges.

I do agree that a T25/28 is a much better turbo for a GA16DE than a T3 would be, and my other option is a 2G DSM turbo or maybe even a 13G off a 1G DSM, both of which would probably be better matched.( But I'll keep the Saab in mind then for a planned twin turbo 6 liter AMC V8 I want to build when I get an easier project under my belt....Muhahahaha!)I drove a Saab 9000 turbo about 10 years ago and remember it being a little laggy. What would tell me what kind of turbo I am looking at? Is there somewhere to look on the housing to see if it will be what I am looking for? I liked the Saab piece better than the DSM piece because it would be easier to package the piping with a intercooler with opposing end tanks rather than having them on one side. The DSM would require me to use a J pipe and I want to avoid any restrictive 180 degree bends if at all possible. Where would be a good place to find a SR20DET T25/28 from-cheaply?
