Turbo compatibility, please help... I searched.
Hey guys... I searched and can't find a solid answer so please bare with me if this should be an easy find.
So I have a SR20DE-t I just installed 3" pipe from turbo back. Currently PIPE ONLY... No cat, no muffler, resonator, nothing but pipe and 02 sensors.
I believe if I searched the p/n correct my current turbo is actually a factory 300z Garrett T25.
It seems common... so after the 3" upgrade I noticed immediately pretty heavy smoke while deaccelerating. Apparently causes the turbo seal to leak and it sure is, my IC is coated inside with oil, etc.
MY QUESTION:
I've read horror stories of how horrible the T25 is... but obviously rebuilding it would be least expensive.
However IF I DID upgrade it, what turbos have the same flange. I already have a Titanium header so I do not really wanna move up to a turbo requiring me to change that.
So what are my options?
