ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    little advice

    With no shaft play it might be worth it if it was a decent fit for the car. I'd say go write down every identification character and number and bring it home and google. If its something with a t25 flange you could use a DSM exhaust manifold and build something real cheap. I have also seen T3 flange turbo setups, although I couldn't tell you where to get a manifold to support it. Basically you have to make sure the flow rate isn't to low for the 2.2. If its to large a turbo it will spool really late or never at all.

    I almost went the route of a DSM setup but chickened out before i saw the project through.

    Bottom line, don't buy it till you know what it is. Might be a cheapy Ebay turbo that is way over sized for the engine.

        If you don't even know what turbo it is (and for $100, I GUARANTEE that it's too small for your engine...) then you clearly don't know enough to install it.

        Step back, put your wallet away, and start reading up on turbo if that's the route you want to go.
