Turbo for 1600

Post by craigvwdude »

Fellas,
a buddy of mine gave me a couple of turbo's and I was wondering if one would work on a stock 1600?
Your thoughts?

I'm not sure what any of those are. From info I have read from Clone on here is nothing bigger than a 2" inlet or outlet. Break out the tape measure and let us know what you find. 1.5" inlet would be even better.
I have a 42/48 AR T3 on mine and it spools pretty late. 2.25" inlet size on that one.

I would say you should be able to make something work.
