does anyone know where to get a T25 turbo cast iron manifold for the xb? im having trouble locating one, i found one on ebay but someone bought it before i had the chance and it said off road use only?????????? will that make a diff if im a daily driver?? help please need the manifold so i can get this build on

 

"off road use only" is a disclaimer they use to take the EPA or CARB off of their back for selling a exhaust modifying part.
Don't worry too much about it unless you live in a strict emmsions state.

P.S.

its designed for a GT25 or GT28

 

this is a pretty dumb question like i said im new to this is there a Difference between the GT25 and T25 turbo ???

 

They are the same T25 footprint on the exhaust housing flange. A Garrett T25, T28, GT25 or GT28 will work with a manifold flanged for a T25 exhaust housing. The only problem I see is if you get a very large compressor housing with a big trim compressor wheel and you may have a clearance issue in the engine bay.

 

Watch out for the turbo size keep it small. Take the one i used for an example GT2554R. Its ballbearing, so its a little more expensive and its water/oil cooled, so its a complicated turbo, but spools up MONSTROUSLY quick.

Another difference from the "GT" and "T" series are the blades on the compressor and turbine wheels. The "T"series have straight blades while the "GT" have slightly bent blades which are designed to help spooling. All in all don't go any bigger than a "25" series and make sure the turbo you choose has a small compressor housing.
