I have been looking around and doing research on the proper turbo for what I'm looking to put down. And I had my eye set on a T3/T04E to start off my turbo kit build. But today I received a brand new never used or installed still in the box Garrett TB2568 for free. It is a pretty small turbo but I guess is a hair bigger than the 14b and t25. So I started to do some research on this turbo, and while there is not a lot of info out there for it. I do know it comes off of a 2.5l diesel engine (Isuzu), so I figured it would probably be a decent turbo to get in the 200-250whp range on a 420a. I know I wont get no 30 psi out of it but 20 psi should be easy on a built engine.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm still learning about turbochargers. So I will list the specs the best I can that are listed on the turbo itself. What I'm looking for is anybody that knows anything about this turbo, or if anybody would be able to tell me if it is even worth using. I have read that Honda guys use this turbo a lot.
All that is listed on the turbine housing is: BC2 M27 A/R .48
There is also a little red tag on it that has these numbers:
IAM077519 and 2910094020
If anybody has anymore info on this turbo that what I have posted, I would be grateful for any of it.

Wow. So I guess you are going with the: "I know absolutely nothing about the topic but I'm going to make arbitrary and useless suggestions." concept huh!
good call.

T25 is the stock turbo size on most SR20's, atleast anytime i read anything about them. Most SR sites don't recomend going past 17 psi cause the turbo just can't handle anymore. Good solid turbo though, if it is the same as the SR20 then it should be both water and oil cooled. Good for a little over 200hp give or take.

Thanks for the replies, yeah I bet I could get in the 200hp range with this turbo. Hopefully I can get the rest of the kit pieced together by this upcoming winter so I can start the install over winter time.

He's right though. You can run 20 psi on any turbo!

Hey, a free turbo is a free turbo. And Garrett doesn't make junk.. I searched high and low for info on this turbo, and all that comes up is that it was used on 2.5L Isuzu's. It should produce enough power to keep you happy for a while at mild boost levels (as in, 8psi or less). But only one way to find out

I have a couple of more questions. Today I aquired a few more parts to my turbo kit. A FMIC off of a 2003 Lancer Evo VIII RS and a BOV off a Lancer Evo VIII MR. They were both free including a Hillman MBC. Will I be able to modify the FMIC and BOV to fit on my car?

And DJ's giving the "I know nothing about the topic either, but that's no reason not to chime in and whoop on someone's guess"
but that's why we all love him

Evo FMIC and bov will definitely work. You will have to remove the bumper support, of course, to fit an IC of that size, but it will fit. I've seen that exact IC on a 2g.
As for the BOV, have the piping flanged for it and it'll work just fine.
