i was heading over to my moms today for thanskgiving and my brother was behind me in his white mx3.. and i just found that i kept looking back in the rear view and just admiring the mx3.. and started thinking about how much i still want to put money into one..... then i pulled my miata in my moms driveway and saw my White mx3 there.... i cant wait till i get money haha

i would keep the miata but that's just me

[Chad]

well i plan on keeping the miata, but imma make a clean daily driver first.

got some clean high back mx3 seats at the local u-pull it for $43 today would have grabbed the back seats but somebody messed them up pulling the fuel pump out to drain the tank

anyone know what sabb or volvo t3 uses this type of flange

[smoke187]

cant seem to figure out what turbo i have its a Garrett/airesearch t3 externally gated 4 bolt exhaust

its just to cold to jack up the car and look from the bottom

i can tell you it looks nothing like the Saab T3 i have..

there where also T25's on Saab's and there were 3 versions of the T3 on various models, all but one had 3 bolt exhaust and was internally gated

EDIT: btw all the internally gated ones have a removable WS assembly so they can be either or

look for markings on the center cartridge, they will be something like T03xxx

google that and it will tell you what you have

[smoke187]

alright its kinda hard to see anything with all the stuff in the way

[323driver]

might be a mercedes T3, saw one at the junk yard last week, had air ressearch on it and the exhaust clamped with a similar clamp like yours.

took a pic of the seats i grabbed for $40 and the rims tucked away for the winter








i don't think this turbo is a factory turbo because what factory turbo has a 4 bolt down pipe and is made for an external wg

[smoke187]

snapped a few pic's of the turbo i know the downpipe nut needs to be tightened

by looking at the turbo how much hp do you guys think i can pump out of it
