I was having problems with the T3 in my SVO and wanted to get a new one. I found a turbo on craigslist for 50$ that the guy claimed was for an SVO. I drove an hour to his place and it was this ISHI turbo. I figured it wouldn't be too bad to swap in so I took it. I want to plumb my system to take advantage of the water-cooling capabilities. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm on a budget and that doesn't help. The oil drain line is different too...

The IHI never came on SVO's. SVO's came stock with T3's.......60/48 I believe. The IHI came stock on '87-'88 TC's. Smaller turbo, only spools to 18 psi. Hold out for a T3. It'll bolt right up!

Close enough.
.60/.63 on 84 - early '85 models
.60/.48 on late 85 - '86 models

i'm running an IHI and it doesn't have the 2 bolt flanged elbow, so depending on you're intercooler piping, you may have an issue. the garrett had a number of different elbows for different applications.

Your running an IHI in your SVO? Did you plumb it for water cooling?
Im running a turbo coupe intercooler so its nothing elaborate.
