Hey guys, the turbo in my CA is on its way out.... blowin a bit of oil out. was looking around at stock replacements on the cheap, though about getting a t28 from frsport but thats not cheap... buddy of mine has two turbos from his 300zxtt was looking around at what size they are, searched while i was at work, one place said they were td02's or something like that another said they were t25's, if one of them is the right size i can get it from him pretty cheap so i guess i just need to know if they are the right size and an easy fit.... otherwise if anyone has an sr t25 cheap that isnt blown or a stock t25 cheap that isnt blown... I dont drive my car much but shes gotta go through inspection soon so anything would definitely help, otherwise ill be looking at ebay to buy a cheapo for the time being.... thanks guys

Next time search, this has been covered many times. Short answer, yes it will fit but those turbos suck, are smaller than CA stock turbos, and they have a different exhaust outlet flange (4 bolt vs. the CA 5 bolt) so you would have to get a custom down pipe.

boost_boy offered a 'hookup' of brand new T28 cartridge fitted to your machined stock CA T25 housings. From what I can remember, street performance was excellent and for the price it was a helluva deal. Bolt-on
