DSI T3's came stock on lebaron turbo's and chrysler turbo minivans , the lebaron 2.2 liter would be a good match, and probably spool up a little faster due to the displacement difference. all that and you won't have to worry about cooking your cylinder head with the water out of the turbo water jacket.......
Dave, $1300 is a great price. I think that the TEC T3 conversion costs about $3k. Does the price include oil and coolant lines also? These aren't a big deal (Jeff Moskovitz has the info on what you need on his site) but they add a little to the price if you use Earl's fittings. I am into my T3/T4 conversion for about $1000, not including the exhaust and downpipe. Almost all of that cost is the turbo, I bought Jeff's old T3/T4 with a ball bearing center section. Jeff also has the specs for the adapter on his page for a T3. All of the information you need is right there.
I'm now building a stainless exhaust with parts from Road Race Engineering and Burns Stainless and I am into the exhaust for about $400. It is kind of a pain in the ass but once it is together it will be worth it.

I have a T3 garret laying around thats a reman that im not gonna use- its to small for what i need I needa hybrid T3/T4 next or a S60 and going 16v neon head
or ya might concider goin with the mitsu turbo off a 88 or newer off of a chrysler - I can get em got like $16 each at the local yard
How can a guy spend so much bling-bling on some things and be such a cheapskate on others? :flipoff2:
Your best bet for cheap is to copy this adapter, pick up a T3 off of a Thunderbird or Lebaron, and make your own downpipe out of alumanized tubing and crush bends. You could do this for around $500.
Don't give up on the turbo motor! If you don't want to mess with the downpipe then just get a rebuilt turbo. JL8Jeff was selling a new turbo and downpipe earlier this month on the list for $550.
do you want a t3 with a custom turbor header??? not the log type, if ya have the space then it could be done, you have a certian front end i want. give me a call.(209)609-2937.

dude, where did you send it? The only thing on your turbo that would be shot would be the shaft. You can usually get a remmaned shaft for around $150.
I hope you sent it to performance techniques. If not, you should have them send it there. Ask them if you can get the sogi discount. Rebuild is $400 + shaft(if shaft is bad).
i have a used ct20 that need the seal for the compressor housing( it would use a little oil, but not smoke). at work my boss said that it would cost about $$250-300 to rebuild it( new seals/bearings) and i could have it rebiult for you if ya want.
