Hi Guys! this might sound like a stupid question but im new to this - I can possibly get me hands on a good turbo for a good price, but the flange for it is T25 and of course the rb25 has a t3 flange on it. I can get it flanged up to fit but would anyone see any problems in doing this apart from maybe an decrease in performance of the turbo? could it cause any damage to the turbo or engine? the turbo itself is a good match otherwise.......any comments?

can't you just get a 'spacer plate' made?

like a metal plate that it about 1 inch thick and bolts onto the T3 flange on one side and T25 on the other? making it fit perfectly?

maybe?? Ive heard that it really should be fusion-welded (???) to the turbo to make sure theres no pressure leaks - I can get that done to it to fit but I dont know if that means the ports on the exhaust manifold flange are smaller?? if that was the case then I guess it just wouldnt flow as much as it could otherwise?

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
