For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    turbo question

    I was given a turbo, which i believe was from a neon srt-4, i was just wondering if this can be used with the f22a4. i know ill need a custom header or maybe just reflange a 1st gen dsm manifold.
    i also dont know the condition as far as the bearings. if i spin it by finger it feels tough to move but then it spins freely before stopping. any input would be appreciated.
    ill post picks up after i get back from the motor pool at work. (ps my tanks has a 1000 hp tubine engine that runs on jet fuel!!)

          To check the bearings, you want to check for shaft play.
          Side to side, and in and out, a very small amount is acceptable.
          I can't say much about the turbo itself - We don't get the SRT4 over here, so I've no idea on its size.

          If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

            Looking at that cast exhaust housing, you're going to have to do a lot of custom work. The way that the down pipe outlet is facing just really isn't right for our cars. Take the DSM manifold for example the inlet for the exhaust points down. This means the inlet on the turbo must point up. The exhaust usually comes out the side of the turbo 90 degrees to the angle of the inlet. What you have would shoot exhaust gasses right back into your manifold or engine depending on what manifold you use.

            Now, I'm not saying it can't be done, but It's going to be pretty custom. Your gonna have to make pretty much everything I think.

              ya i was thinkin of making a custom manifold that comes down then up into the turbo, kinda like a big "U" not really sure.
