Can I use this turbo???

Does anyone know if I can use a te05 stock turbo off a 1985 Saab 900 on my stock n/a '86 FC 13B?

uhhhhhhh


sure?

btw, you don't have a 13B-REW, thats the twin turbo 1993-2002 FD engine... you have a plain old unspecial vanilla 13B.

























































































































































and i was kidding, no you can't. well unless you like cutting yourself for absolutely no reason other than enjoyment of it.

A) it's too small in just about every aspect for a rotary engine
B) its a crappy antique turbo that isn't very efficient
C) youll spend thousands trying to make it work and in the end will probably wind up just blowing up your engine and be very sad

you can find stock turbos relatively inexpensively, though even with those it requires some creativity to make them work on the n/a engine. if you're dead set on turboing the car, that's probably a better place to start.
