Re: Putting on newer turbo 700 85

Since you are spending twice as much money for a ball bearing turbo, why not salvage a used 1990-1995 exhaust manifold and modify it to fit the Garrett? The 1990-1995 manifolds flow better, enough to add 10 hp at stock boost of 7 psi. Get the manifold/turbo support bracket from the later car also, because the early one does not fit the late manifold. Check carefully for warping across the runner flanges and for cracks where the runners come together in the back of the opening to the turbo.
