I've been resaerching for hours on end with different turbos and as some of you already know I'm about to start piecing together my kit. I am able to get a garret gt17 for less than a 100 bucks. Owner claims its in good condition with very very minor shaft play, it's off of ebay. First of all is it even possible to install one on our ka's? I'm not looking for crazy power just something around 210-225 hp. My car is a daily driver and I want to add some kick to it. If not then I shall continue the quest to purchase a t3 or t25 off a Saab 900. Here are some I'm checking out.

I feel overwhelmed here are these all compatible? According to research t3/t4 and t25s have the clearance for our engines. It's just a matter of getting the correct manifold to fit the turbo. I'll be running a 8:1 fmu and walbro fuel pump with ebay intercooler and manifold/ down pipe. I know the turbo is the most important factor that's why I'm staying away from ebay turbos. Non moving parts shoudn't be an issue. Any help appreciated!
