sounds like one of the small turbos that chrysler used back in the day.

IHI also makes subaru turbos, but i doubt you have that one, the exhaust inlet is a wierd design and would require an adapter plate for it to work. also the exhaust outlet is a 5 bolt, but not the typical 5 bolt, also would require a custom flange made.

shit, i would have gave you a turbo you could actually use for an Xbox 360

I'd have kept my Xbox 360 personally.
You have a lot of custom work on your hands.

haha yeh.

i only know the flanges on the IHI turbos for Subies, but i dont know about the other flanges. not sure if they are the typical t3/t4 or whatnot. but yeh if its a subie IHI then have fun finding flanges/adapters for the d/p and the manifold.

**EDIT - found some flanges for the Subies, but it would still all be custom work. good luck to ya.

Dang well I go to pick it up sat from a guy named mike and he wanted my xbox for his kids.

so should I not do it?

the turbo you posted is def a subie turbo prob a vf34 found on jdm sti's i believe. dont quote me on that. its going to be more stress to get the flanges to work for you. DSM turbos are cheaper, you can even go with the evo8/9 setups. and with that you wont have to worry about fitment issues. up to you, the hardest flange to modify to get that turbo to work is the uppipe flange which is the exhaust inlet.

its just hard not to do it its new in the box and i think it retails for like 1000. but im into easy just like everyone else so i may skip this trade thanks for the info eveyone.

[bagoon316]

if it is the vf34 it does retail around 1000, but you wont get that for it. you will be lucky to get 600, so if you think its worth the trade then go for it. you have to see the turbo itself, and on the rectangular piece of the compressor housing it will say which turbo it is. ihi's VF series is rather big, so just look into it. there is the vf22, 34, 39, and 43 that i know off hand right now.
