Here's my dilemma. I've got a T25 from a second gen. eclipse and a T25 from a ca18det. The reason I bought the t25 from an eclipse is because the stock turbo that came with my CA got seized. I got a really good deal for the eclipse turbo and took it. I thought that the T25 from the eclipse would be the same as the T25 that comes with the sr20 or ca18. Well, it's not because the turbine doesn't bolt onto the turbo manifold. So, I was wondering if I could use the turbine from the seized ca and attach it to the T25 compressor from the eclipse without any custom modification at all? How about adapter plates? Is there a way to switch them?

I'd think making an adapter would be the best, if not possibly the only option. I assume you wanted to take the turbine housing off the CA's turbo and put it on the DSM's. I don't if that will work but it shouldn't be that hard to fab up and some kind of adapter if you have any machining or fabrication experience. If not talk to your local machine shop, they should be able to do something for you.
