The R5 T2 is by far the most suitable. It has the correct flange, is reasonably plentiful and works quite well.

One from a fiesta may be ok, what are the specs of it. I think that the flange is different on the fords though that makes them more difficult to fit.

i think the exhaust housing would be way to big from a fiesta rs turbo as its 1600 and going on a 998!!

im using a t2 off a fiat uno and it seems to work really well!!!

It turnd out that in reality the size of engine it comes off is only a starting point. We run a GT17 on the race car and that is off a 2000cc Saab. I would happily run it on the road too. It is all about the map and the trim.

How did you find mating the fiat uno turbo to the manifold, it is 3 bolt, is it not?

The R5 has A/Rs as follows, turbine .35, compressor .48

If the turbo you have is the same, then it'll be fine.

Fiat Puntos use an IHI something, small, 4-bolt im looking into, should be as easy as making an adpator plate as for T2..
RS Turbo's also have 4-bolt T2 exhaust housing.

To be honest, I've jsut been scouring ebay for a small turbo from a petrol engine, so long as its a 4-bolt flange.
T2 or not im going to have to make adaptors for it.
Im searching KKK garett ihi etc, I cant find any R5 T22's for less than about 80 quid! How much did you pay if I may ask..

nah my old boos made it for a cutomers 1380 turbo but a valve seat dropped n fucked the enginge but the turbo lived so i had it off them 4 cheap!!

the downpipe was made by a bloke who used to do manifolds for formula 1 back in the day, was just somthing he knocked up quick!!

I am in the process of making a dump pipe just like that!
With the wastegate dump pipe joining alot further down space permitting.
How is yous going? Ill get some pics of mine up.
Made the flange with a plasma cutter and a carbide burr, not fun one bit!
Did you use a gasket at the turbo face and did you need to skim it flat after welding??
