I have a 16G td05h turbo from a mitsubishi, just sitting around using it as a paper weight. my question to everyone is this. should i make a project out of my 2.2 and boost it with this turbo or should i just let it be the way it is and drive it. lets be honest.. a td05 turbo on a ecotec would be interesting as hell.. fast spool, decent power and reliable (engine wise). My goals would not be high power. just to build it and have it would be good enough for me. I know the most expensive part of all of this would be the tuning. being obd2 it would most likely be a pain in my ass.

so worth it or no? i can probably find a stock exhaust manifold and get a flange welded to it for pretty cheap. only thing i would need to fab would be a down pipe.. hmm.. maybe im just getting ahead of myself here. this may not be the best idea ever.
