What turbos bolt right up? So I don't have to change alot of things and so it cheaper. I am thinking that my turbo is going. It's not gone yet but maybe very soon. Taking it to my parts guy on tuesday to a look at it and see if he can get me a new one. Any info would be great. Thanks,

Was it one from an 88-89? Cause if I belive right that is the turbo that is a bolt up. The 84-87 thad t3's and the I think it's t25 on the 88-89. But I might be wrong.

I would think it is that same as the one on my rb20 since they have rb20's in them. Just a thought but might be wrong. Why do you have one I can get?

Stock turbo downpipe elbow will not clear the firewall. Wastegate assembly is built into the turbo downpipe elbow so you would need to modify it or change exhaust housings. Get an external wastegate... blah blah...
