Well i blew my turbo up at 71,500 miles. I have only had the car for 9000 miles and the car apears to be never tampered with. So i am kind of disappointed in thins happening. Im wondering what other vehicle i can get a turbo off of that will work with the factory ecu and tune. i know the nissan s13 used a t25 but is it the same size? Im just weighing my options on what i can do right now and need some help. I presently have the original turbo b eing looked at and im looking at $200-400 to rebuild it. But if there are other options i would like to check them out. thanks.

Not too many options out there. Keep in mind that you also have to take the wastegate actuator, location and it's arm placement in consideration. I would simply rebuild it, if they can, and move on. If not, you can always get a GT28RS - minor adjustments and you're on your way. The only problem with that, is any gt25-28rs is going to be expensive. You can buy other turbos all day long, but none that are an exact fit and that the ECU will "accept" as well.
thats sucks, I miss the car already and its only been down a couple of days. i guess ill be waiting to get it rebuilt.
just out of curiousity, why cant a regular t25 or t28 from an sr20det work? the turbos look identical besides the fact that they are flanged on the inlet and outlet. but i can fab up some flanges no problem.

you can use a t25 off of a s13 sr20. swap the compressor housing off the msp turbo and call it a day
now thats a good piece of information because those turbo's are a lot easier to find.

I'm extremely interested in this... Seeing as my turbo went a lil while ago, and I ordered in a new t25 bb(dual ball bearing - from importperfomanceparts.net) Didn't realize that the flanges were going to be all fubar'd; so, I'm trying to figure out what to do. If the compressor housings can be swapped, I'd love for someone to link up a possible how to. Otherwise i'm going to return this t25 and just rebuild it as well. Anyone know any good places to source a rebuild kit?
