15G or 16T with down pipe

zyonshep

The 15g turbo on my 96 850 t5 has come to its end a lot sooner than I would’ve hoped so I am after a replacement. I am looking to buy either a used 15G with a straight flange to bolt straight in, a used 16T with the appropriate down pipe, or just buy a new 16T with the angled flange but will then just need the down pipe to suit.

Get onto Mark at Berry Motor Group.
If he doesn't have an old turbo he has the 9nes off the P3 T6, infinitely better than the old stuff and usually cheaper as the old ones are way overpriced.
Downpipe flange welding needed for it.

Ex850R cheers, will definitely look into it. Does everything else with it line up perfectly other than having to weld the flange? The other option I still might still do is just get one custom made.

Different flange.

Ex850R Ok, cheers.

I have no experience I this but buy looking at the two Turbos the P3 T6 Turbo won't bolt to a while block with out some mods. The compressor outlet its different and oriented wrong. As mentioned the exhaust housing Inlet is wrong. I am not saying it can't be done I just don't think it would be that easy.

TL_V70 ok thanks. Probably too much of a hassle right now to go that route anyways.

For reference thats a 16T straight flange off a 97 V70 T5.

Yeah I knew it needed work but well worth it if you can do it

I have a reco 15T with factory downpipe to match although I'm away at the moment and won't be back until early September. Pm me if interested.
