Now that i have removed the turbo from the GTI block i now need to source another manifold to mate the turbo to the NA 1600.
Whats the general feeling on what i should look for?

Cheers guys

Look for a T2 flanged jobbie that isn't a piece of shit from streetbitz on trade me, that would be a good place to start.

A GReddy manifold has a T2 flange, or build one yourself.

t2 is the flange thet the turbo bolts to the mani a t2 t25 t28 turbos etc will all have the same flange a t3 ect is not the same
most theap manifolds and turbos have a t3 flange i have noticed

i made my manifold. i just got some 90* schedual 30 bends from steel and tube and welded them together

works pretty well

I am sure yours is a Garrett T25--? Nissan use Garretts as OEM supplier.

The "ChinaCharger" T3's available online almost anywhere are a pile of crap! Be prepared to trail smoke on 10psi after a month. If its cheap leave it alone.

I recently read an article from someone in U.S.A who had the front compressor housing split in half because the glue gave out- GLUE????
