your going to have to get it made. google search 7 bolt flange, buy the flange and have a custom shop weld and bend you a down pipe. i searched for hours and couldnt find anything except that flange!!! that was it. i was concerned at first cause it being 7 bolt i thought it might have been a ford turbo, something off a powerstroke diesel but what little research i came across didnt seem to matter what it came off of. chances r you prob will not have ac though. i could be totally wrong here but i couldnt just leave you hanging. hope you get some answers keep us posted this is interesting.

Turbos aren't rated by horsepower, they are rated by flow capabilities. Horsepower is dependent upon the engine it's bolted to, supporting mods, tuning...etc.

Also, there is no way in hell we can tell you what that turbo is capable of without knowing what it is. We would need some specs on it to even begin to help you. Telling us it's a Garrett turbo tells us absolutely nothing. Garrett makes turbos small enough for motorcycles and big enough for 18-wheelers.

called them an this came off an international truck! even tho its BRAND NEW im not sure if it will work on my b18b! but i did confirm its a garett... now heres a tuffy for me my father is kinda pissed b/c he is clueless to if this thing would work or not.. hes thinking about returning it and getting an ebay turbo kit 4 600 i told him to keep this one considering its a garrett thus having the "better" quality then those ebay turbos what shuld i do?

dont get a ebay turbo kit there usually pieced together as a universal system youll just end up spending more money on things that should have came with the system, plus if a shop has to do some custom work expect to get charged a ton ecspcially when your dealing with a turbo kit id say piece together your on turbo and get tings designed for your car makes the process easier i think. or if your looking for a turbo set up that is cheap but realiable get a greddy kit. remember you can always upgrade turbos later.

^^ ebay turbo kits arent bad

i have a ebay kit, my friends have ebay kits, people in my family have ebay kits, no problems i heard yet

ebay kits are great imo, i would recommend getting a name brand wastegate and bov but other than that, i have heard of 0 problems in my personal experiance
