BlackCobalt707, are you going to stick with that GT30?

Your old T25, was it off of a DSM? Just asking because I have a couple of DSM turbo's lying around in case you want something to get you on the road real quick.

If you need a different manifold to try and get that GT30 to fit, try looking into RDFabs. They've got a kick ass deal on an Equal Length, Long Tube Turbo Header. I don't know if they do custom flanges or not though.

duece, how did you fit a gt30? my damn compressor keeps hittin the water pump..i think thats wat it is. damn compressor housing wont fit

idk it cleared everything too.. it was hard getting it in but it fit. i had an install failure because of some friends that ended up killing it so i had to swap it out and never got a chance to track it. all i know is 10 psi on that sucker was rediculous

i dont know if it was off a dsm, i looked at DSM flanges and they dont look anything like my old turbo. i was told it was off a eclipse but i dunno. but i do plan on keepin the gt30 or watever the sucker is, it says gt30 but it works on the t25/t28 flange. do you got a website for the people?

Dear lord. Swapping Compressor Housing is probably one of the worst things you could have done to the efficiency of that turbo.

You definitely need to save up and buy that new exhaust manifold so that you can swap back to the larger Compressor Housing... you also need a 3" Downpipe and 3" cat-back. It'll make a HELL of a difference on your spool time. The RDFabs Manifold will also help out spool a bit and it'll REALLY increase your top-end power. Very much worth the money, especially since it comes with a Tial Wastegate. If you don't need/want the Wastegate, I'll buy it from you for $150 and I'll order you a gasket and blocker plate to cover the wastegate flange hole.
