Which Garrett Turbos Should I Get?

I guess the numbers can catch you out if your not careful... Quite confusing isnt it! So it sounds as though the only thing that will require a change is the oil returns. Bolt hole elongation from memory.

Once again thanks for the help guys.

Just checked my emails, the gasket kit was $283, i don't think that had post in that though.. ripped open one of the packets with a drain in it, bolt holes line up perfectly. Not going to reuse the old parts.

Yeah but i have a Tomei metal gasket kit already so the fitting kit isnt really necessary considering the expense. Besides its not hard to elongate a few holes.

True. Originally was going to do the same.

I had planned on keeping the stock exhaust manifolds, just port matching them in/out. Are you keeping yours stock or swapping?

Stock, i was going to clean up the mating areas myself but found that the extra lip on them isnt actually a big deal as its not flowing into the flat edge but instead over it the other way. If that makes any sense. I've had the inlet port matched and i've been told thats all thats necessary. I think if i had the money lying around i might get Tomei exhaust manifolds but seeing as i dont im quite happy to run with the strong stock cast manifolds as they will hold heat well and dont need to be wrapped or coated to perform well.

Mine are a few years old but read:

IB 0118J

GT2560R

707160-5

.86 rear exhaust housing on a single turbo maybe BUT not 2 of them, its like using a 1.3L engine to spool up a GT2860 with a .86 housing

Didnt read correctly i thought it was only single turbo
