#103742 im trying to figure out what kind of turbo i can get i have this manifold its one of those small ebay manifolds that look like this Image

(not mine but it looks like this)

i got a turbo that was a 4 bolt pattern just like this but the manifold flang was smaller then the turbo flang that i have. im just trying figure out what kind of turbos will fit onto this before i buy it.

my budget is within ebay turbos

if anyone can tell me what kind of manifold i have that would be appreciated

would just one of those t3/ t4 standard 5 bolt turbos work?

#105085 you're dong it backwards. Usually you begin with buying he turbo that is optimal for your power goals and budget, and then build your system around it. That way you will know what kind of turbo you have and you'll know what kind of manifold to buy.

What kind of turbo did you have that didn't fit? Did you try a t3? Have buddies with old broken turbos laying around that you can test fit with?

Any more pics of the manifold? It looks like a poor design, the #1 and #4 cyls exhaust will be working against each other. that is not a good flowing design at all. If you're going with a cast mani, the ebay rev hard knockoffs will be a much better choice and still be cheap.
