Will this turbo work for my megan manifold? I found it on the cheap and know that the megan needs a mitsubishi flange right? the sooner the help the better as you see there is little time left, thx for help.

For the guys power goals, a T25 from a 2G is a better choice. We are talking a 1.6 motor here guys. I'd imagine 1G 14Bs in good shape are getting pretty hard to find. You gotta remember the cars they came on are 14 years old now. And they were all overboosted and got spider cracks around the WG.

The T25 is a better turbo for his goals. If you couldn't understand my point, you're retarded. He could run a GT3076 to make 150-170 whp at 4 psi and have a laggy as **** setup and someone could say that they're running it and it isn't too big. That doesn't make it a good choice. That just means someone has done it. The T25 will get him quickly to 200whp with supporting mods. It doesn't have the top end potential of a 16G but it's better mated to a 1.6 for low boost up to 200 whp.

thx for all of the help, i've not yet made up my mind for which to buy but the way its going it will most likely be availability as the choosing factor, i just wish i could have used a garret, oh well maybe for my 240

If I had it to do over again, I would have taken my megan manifold to a welding shop and had them reinforce all the welds. I ended up buying a mig welder partially due to all the repairs I had to do to that POS manifold. Just be prepared to take the thing on and off about 50 times for cracking <G>.
FWIW, I got in the habit of starting the car and running my hand around the manifold before it heated up. That way I would know when the next crack had started.
