Didn't get to snap any good pics but the block was broken next to the oil filter in the back and under that exhaust manifold.

dude i dont even know now. i have to buy a t3 turbo steepspeed tubo manifold i hope he makes t3 flange on his manifold..... oh and full engine mount. do u thing this is a fair deal he would do the engine swap fix timing belt, water pump,weld that oil pan to the new motor or some like that, a t3 turbo, custom manifold from HAVOC a bigger down pipe that goes with da t3 turbo manifold and that thing u told him if he could make.. ithink it was the midpipe with hiflow cat. that includes labor and parts 2700dlls(yupnope)(help) and what was the trim i should get the turbo for a daily driver. or get a disco P>>>>>>
 
If the turbo isn't that bad use the stock stuff temporarilly. Upgrade a few parts at a time. I know its expensive, I have over $3K in my set up and I got most of it used.
 
A good size would be something smaller like a 42 for daily driving, 50 for good more top end. I have a 60 but I got it by pure luck.
 
I loved my old .42, it's a great turbo and great for a daily driver

the .60 is nice and pulls like a mother ******, but would put a lot of stress on the motor and it takes a little longer to spool...great for freeway driving, from a dig though it's kinda laggy...still faster than s*** though lol

bobs super lucky his motor hasn't blown with that turbo yet lol, which is kindof ironic because he is just waiting for it to blow so he can go forged anyways lol....those of use who want the motor to last can't get it to, but he doesn't want it to and it lasts...WTF lol
 
I loved the 42 as a daily driver too. It made an STI owner drool over the MSP. That was my favorite day, having a guy in a modified STI running up to my window at the next stop and wanting to see under my hood drooling. Priceless...
