Turbo question!
Hi everybody! I just got another turbo from my friend. It's used, he got it for his Mazda (or Lotus, not sure)but never put it on. I've never seen turbos like this one. It's pretty small and it already has bov and something else on it(probably for his car'ssetup). On turbo says WARNED TURBO-IHI FORD...or something like that. Do you know anything about this brand and is it any good, or better than the t3ebay one I have?I would really be pissed if they are both junk![:@]

I was also wondering If I put one turbo on a car, and after want to change it for another, how would that work with piping? Will I need to change anything....or just find other with same size?

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do....I just don't know what to ask for.

You might not get much more than about $20 for that thing. It looks like it's in terrible condition.
As for upgrading a turbo after one is on the car, you'll have to make sure your headers feed into a tube that uses the same size flange to turbo joints as well as the cold side plumbing.

no one else found it funny that he said? Mazda, or Lotus.
They are hard to tell apart.
