t2 replace with t1?

[bobjoe]

hey
the turbo in my 89 tona c/s is shot (t2) i can only replace it with a t1, does it matter what year i replace it with? and do i need to take the exhuast manifold too?

also, the 84 t1 engine, my dad says he has one that the rods can be used to make a stroker?

off to work i go, already late, hopefully turbo will take care of that *evil grin*

The current manifold will work, you will need to grind the top of the T-I manifold to clear the intake manifold.

TU has an adapter to convert a Garret TI to TII. $35 I think. Directions are in Donovan's garage. Use your TII manifold.

Yep or just swap the compressor housing from the bad one to the good one.
