Couple questions about my new turbo
Been searching through the pile of parts that came with my new project, and have run into a few questions. I apologize in advance if my terminology is off a bit, I am still a noob
The person I bought the car from had gotten a 3" down pipe, for the life of me I cannot find a decent picture of how my exhaust is supposed to connect to the turbo. The flanges between the exhaust and turbo don't match, I assume the down pipe just wasn't meant for this turbo? Or maybe I am missing a piece? Anyone got a good picture of their stock turbo with a aftermarket exhaust?
Also the section of the turbo that connects to the manifold on the engine has a few cracks in it. Do I need to replace this? I am hoping to get this car going without buying any major parts.
