will this be plug and pray ?

It does not look like it, you are going to have to mod something for the air intake of the turbo, the one used on our cars has a round pipe on the compressor side and the air intake pipe from the filter just pushes over and then clamped, as for the exhaust housing I can't see but still could work because it is a garret, the flange should be the same, best is take our exhaust housing with and match it.

cool thanks
where else can i try
i just want to replace with a new one

It will work, if you want to turbo a leaf blower!

.43 AR intake and .35 AR exhaust, I think a 900cc matiz will max this turbo out!

oh ok

i need to get one for my car

mr sokar where can i get hooked up with a standard turbo

I'm sure if you post in the classified section that you want a turbo you will get a few hits, I know of one or 2 members that have stock T25's lying around, they are just too lazy to advertise for sale.

Chances are those turbo's will need a recon though, anything from R1000 - R3000 at turbo exchange depending on how much needs to be done. Dont let them sell a turbo that needs a recon to you for more than R500 - 750.

Also, it might be viable to look for an upgrade, a T28 or GT28 😛 they fit without hassles, anything else like a T3/T4 requires cutting and welding etc etc.

thanks for the advice
when u say a t28 will fit without hassels does it mean i can take the T25 off and fit the T28 just like that
can i do this myself as a novice ?

you will have a problem with the intake if you fit a t28, but its no big deal really.

you will need an intake pipe to be fabricated or bought that will bolt onto the turbo intake.

the rest of the stuff will fit right on!

T28 it is then
thanks for all the advice ill probably get down to the upgrade then end of the month

will take pics and post it on the forum

Whats the price on a new or recon t28?? and the line needed?

In the reagon of R9000, that is a ball bearing turbo, don't know the price of a normal one.

You can get a GT28RS for +-R9500 shipped from here

Thats the turbo that I really want. Just not sure I can justify spending 9K on a turbo.

damn! ja I can't justify that either... I mean you can almost get a SR motor and gearbox for that!! 😮

And what about the stock S14 piece??

Good point
Eish 😕

Ok here is a tip. Go to SA Autoparts, Ask them if you can go source a t28 or t25 from their billions of turbos at the back in the store room. They will charge you about R1000 or so for the turbo.

are those goods ?
many ppl say theyre not

Doesnt matter, Take a t28 and a t25 make your own "hybrid" turbo...PM Mario and ask him bout his turbo!

u scaring me 😕

uhm...y?
