I have just purchased an 88 NA2T and the original owner had a shop do the complete swap. He could not tell me which turbocharger and exhaust elbow was used for it. I was wondering what the best way to visually identify if it was a T3 or T25. I'm hoping its not the T25 but my temporary boost gauge is showing 5PSi of pressure.

Pictures included for those who are interested! Not bad for $1800 and 133k on the clock.

Thanks in advance!

The left is the 88-89 T25 and the right is the 84-87 T3.

Cool! Would it be correct to say the T25 bolts onto the piping going to the throttle body and the T3 simply slips into a connecting pipe?

2t is auto trans ...right ?
they need the smaller turbo ( or less boost really ) , or the clutch packs will go quick
and yeah thats seems to be a steal

That made no sense.

NA2T = Naturally aspirated to turbocharged. The engine was originally a non-turbo. And after visual inspection, I am certain it is the T3.

Thanks guys!
