Junkyard T25 to fit FM or Begi kit?
To save money I'd like to put a used T25 on an FM or Begi kit that doesn't have a turbo. I know you can get DSM T25s for almost nothing, so I might go that route if it fits. Does anybody know if there are any T25s that will fit the manifolds/pipes without any modifications?

The T25 I bought off SR20forum.com doesn't have a flanged inlet but the outlet is flanged. It was off a W10 Avenir (JDM station wagon thing with an SR20DET). The W10 T25's seemed to be for sale reasonably regularly, paid $85 plus the $88 rebuild kit from Gpopshop.

That W10 Avenir turbo is the exact turbo I'm running. I picked it up with a cracked SR20DET manifold for $50 locally on Craigslist. I went through it and cleaned it up, but I didn't rebuild it. Working great so far at 7psi.
The SR20 T25 and T28 are great turbos to use with BEGI/FM stuff as they are outline interchangable with the GT2554R and GT2560R so it's a great cheap turbo to start with that you can easily upgrade later. The GT2560R came stock on the S15 SR20DET's. I got this "S15 T28" (GT2560R) off of CL recently for $40.

Mine had a fair bit of shaft play, so I thought I'd better kit it. Plus I just wanted to rebuild one...

I contacted ATP with the info from my S15 T28 (GT2560R equivalent) and they said it qualified for the CHRA exchange program. $466 for a new CHRA. I'm planning on doing that before I replace my T25 with it as the compressor blades show some damage so it's probably not well balanced. Total will be $500 for a basically new GT2560R.
