I have a garret T-2 I'm thinking about putting on my '94 16v but my motor is tired! It sounds like a subaru! It only has 130K on it but it got hot by the previous owner! I'm thinking a jdm first and then the turbo.the T-2 should spool fast!

If your pulling an 14' trailer, forget about getting a turbo and think about getting a pickup truck to tow that trailer.

First of all I would like to say you can get any turbo you want for it, you will know when it is too big or small!

Enough with the cock-bite answer!

I will rephrase my answer so I don't piss off people that didn't even start the topic!

I'm considering using a Garrett T-2 on my 1.6 16v. I think a T-25 off of an eclips/Talon would be a good starting point. You may have to get a smaller turbine housing.those are disigned for the 2 liter! A turbo off of a 1.8 subaru would be better.if you do decide to get the talon turbo, get on for the automatic car. I have heard somewhere of some guys are using turbos off of the early/mid 90's mazda and probe's with good success! Sorry I couldn't be more help! If I get mine done first, I will report on the T-2.
