depends if your rear housing will bolt upto his turbo

but i would just get a second hand turbo and fit that or get hold of vince at cr turbos and get a price for a standard rebuild

speak to wilky on here with regards to a rebuild

I am sure years ago I was told that there is a turbo of a Saab that goes on a rst and that it a good upgrade as the internals on the ex housing are bigger and allowing it to flow more , this was years ago and I have slept since then lol but it may be worth checking out

I think they just need a rst turbine housing (.48) and they are basically a stage 3.
Never actually used one myself though!

Built Not Bought

as lacey says the exhaust elbow is larger internally from a t3 900 saab fits direct to s2 t3

just had a look at the turbo and its not what i thought it would be its from a saab areo 93 by the looks of it ,the rear exhaust housing is held together with a strap and the inlet with a circlip dont think il waste my time with it.
