Hi all,
Sorry to start yet another 5SFTE thread, but I did search first! Anyway I'm going to do the turbo conversion to my ST204 and I've managed to source the manifold, turbo, dump pipe, oil lines and sump from an ST165. Given that these parts are much older than my car, will they still be compatible or did Toyota make a few changes over the years? I need to make a quick decision while this gear is still available, so a quick reply would be really appreciated! Cheers :-) |

I thought the bolt patterns werte the same, the issue is you HAVE to use a 165 turbo if you use a 165 manifold. Finding a good turbo will be a pita and rebuilding one is just a waste when you can get a 185 or better for about the same price. Manny please jump in if Im wrong.
