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?

Cheaply is a relative term. You can get them for less than $200 on SR20 forums sometimes. Otherwise you just need to look around. You are going to wind up with things that are less than ideal when using a turbo not suited for the car such as different flanges and things of that nature. Even the DSM turbo's use specific flanges....
Have you ever worked with a turbocharged car? You will find things different when you actually get in there and start building it...
