Spendy yes, but, cost of 13BT manifold($400.00 delievered)and turbo(say800.00)=$1200.00. Still a far cry from the $3000.00 plus that ATX and powerglide wants. Q: This Garrett turbo has a round intake(where it bolt up to the exhaust manifold), and the 13BT manifold has a rectangular port. I realize a adapter will have to be fabricated but is there a problem with the two shapes not matching properly? And when i machine a adapter, which shape do i machine too?

This T25 does have a rectangular exhaust inlet port. Will AXT or Turboglide sell their manifolds seperately? I can't remember which but one of the aftermarket guys do use a T25 turbo.
I will post up a drawing shortly.
My T25 is from a nissan CA18DET. It may be worth calling up a few turbo shops frequented by ricers and asking for a CA18DET turbo. They're very cheap here ($200 gets you a good second hand one), but we have a lot of japanese turbo cars on the road.
