the ca18et has a t-2 housing correct?

the 2nd gen DSMs use a t25 stock right--in therory is it possible to mate the compressor housing and centersection to the t2 exhaust housing to upgrade the turbo?

well not to sure we have a garrett t2 and the mitsu t25 is quite different, best and easiest way to upgrade is to get a t25 off the sr20det

The Mitsu T-25 should potentially have a true Garrett design center cartridge, so in theory yes. More measurements and testing would have to happen though, and no one has had both a good T-2 housing and Mitsu T25 to test the idea with.

I have both here so I will let you all know if this will work. I was just kinda wondering aloud last night after some beer thinking. I should know something by the end of the week.

edit update--

the damn c-clip is a bear to get off still workin on it...mat even see about getting the 14b wheel in there aftere getting the t-25 matted.
