does anyone know if i can use my stock radiator with a gt25 turbo...
I think speedvision do a manifold for them although im not sure. Even so im not sure that i can use stock rad with it...
Is there anyone on here using one of these turbos with a stock rad. If so, help would be appreciated..
Thanks
Danny

I know people have used an adapter plate for certain turbo's but the only way to know is drop your turbo off and sit it where it would be off an adapter! to see if there is fowling anywhere. Also if you mean the standard mani you would need to sort the restrictions out or buy an after marke mani without the restrictions. Also WEPR sell mani's to suit the turbo you're talking about but the downpipe they supply is made to fit their exhausts so a new flange for either the downpipe or exhaust would need to be made up. Hope this helps

As for mani I would contact sacha @ WEPR and ask but as for the Rad using water does your temp gauge max out? cos if not then it must be some sort of a leak as if it was boiling it would show on the gauge.

Well i have recently been in contact with Sacha about a T25 manifold that clears the rad, and a downpipe that will bolt to stock system

He can do both. However, while it WILL clear rad with the smaller T25, there are so many variants, not all will clear ie the GT25/40R at a guess wouldnt!!

So give sacha a PM, IIRC $390 fgor the manifold (in mild steel, stianless not avail at mo) and the downpipe was 200 and something dollars, so pretty good deal
