Thread: I hate dealing with OEM replacement turbos

I hear ya on fitment. I just put the aveiner t25 on my b14. I did a t25 pointing up on my b13 pretty easy. Now with the t25 pointing down on my b14, I need to get a new front motor mount, didn't know that till now, and the outlet pipe for turbo points right into the radiator. So, had to get a outlet adapter from ATPturbo.com that has just a 2inch outlet on it and had to get the 90degree 2in to 2.5in reducer silicone adapter.

lol, I think the b13 was way easier so far. But I will fit it eventually, just need the right parts, still cant wait to feel some boost, been waaaaayyyy toooo long

Oh yea, a t25 should be good for 250+ whp all day. MY last one on my b13 did 290whp, and I ran the crap out of it.

I just got this guy for my P11, I've been running similar one on my B15 for a while. You just need a 2.0" 90* elbow and it barely clears through (with some trimming).

I just ordered one from atpturbo. I would say a bit of price difference, doh on my part. And yes, was gonna do a 90 elbow right of it too, and you right should be a tight fit.

Just got the car running with the GT28R, had to clock it a bunch more to clear the radiator. Now the wastegate arm is overstretched and not engaging right thus the car is overboosting to 20psi ha! I wish I just stayed with the disco... I already killed two radiators trying to get this GT28r to fit....

^^^^ so no gt3071 wont fit? how bout the turbo jgy sells?

I used the aveinir outlet pipe. I cut about 2 or more inches off the end to shorten it. Then used a 45degree coupler, and shortened the turbo end of coupler by like 1.5in or more. Now I have at least a .75 gap to the radiator. I am using a aveinir t25 and manifold, so may not be exactly the same.

I just know the piece I bought from atp was putting the 90 degree coupler into the radiator no matter how much I trimmed it.

I'm still running the same t25 since 2007. Only timed I changed it is when I had it rebuilt to a t25/t28.

If I was to upgrade I'd have to change injectors, exhaust manifold, intercooler pipes etc. Plus I didn't want the issues of more wheel spin and broken transmissions. Im able to hang with ve powered 2871r on the hwy so I'm good with my setup.

Would you like a waaburger with them french cries?

Your all over the place dude....
