    Hey guys, recently had my turbo go out. 3 junkyards around me didn't have one but I bought a Garrett on Craigslist.
    I had a Mitsubishi teo4h which has a 2.5" exhaust donut.
    The Garrett a/r42 I bought has a 2.25" donut.
    Can anyone tell me what I can do and what the proper way of fixing this would be.
    Thanks

    Personally if there's no housing contact I'd be looking for a kit for the Mitsu. Easier to work with. Otherwise you're probably going to have to cut/weld piping. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    The donut is in the same location, just a different size

    Unfortunately this is where using a oem turbo bites you in the butt... Like Draconic posted repairing the original may be the best fix. Any pics of the two?

    Hey are you talking about the downpipe flange ? If the garrett is from a d50 then just swap the 5 bolt adapter for the Mitsubishi one . Cause the flange for the manifold to turbine housing is a gasket 4 bolt flange. And the compressor used paper gaskets with both bolt on flanges

    Yep that housing bolts to the turbo with 5 bolts . Remove it and install the one from the old turbo on the new turbo.
