Title: turbo question
Post by: lakenheath24 on June 10, 2008, 10:35:24 AM
i was thinking of getting this....it came off a 2.2 cavalier. he wants $75 for the turbo. my question is does the t3/t4 bolt up to my stock manifolds?(88TC) when i am checking it out, how much play am i looking for.  for $75 does it really matter?

If it is listed right meaning they listed T3 first tells me it should have a T3  that bolts onto the exhaust. T4 meaning HOT side compressor side. The Stock 2.3T manifolds have a T3 pattern. So it should work if it is a T3 .

$75? I hope it's not one of those cheap chinese POS's. Might as well save your $75 if that's the case.

Specs on the turbo would be nice too before buying.

Don't A$$ume anything when it comes to turbos... The TC/XR7 only had Garrett's through '86...
