ok well i am trying to get every thing ready for me to swap my weak ihi to a garrett t3 from a merkur or a older tc. what i want to know is what is all needed to do the swap. could you guys help me out with a list??? i found one off of a 87 or a 88 merkur, comes with a e6 manifold, and the guy says it has minimal to no shaft play, it looks like its in pretty good shape, he said he pulled it off of his running xr4ti and said it boosted fined. i just want to have every thing so i can do this swap in a day instead of running to the parts store every 10mins to get parts. also i found a front mount intercooler or of a merkur. what i want to know is can i make it work?  thanks guys |

Just need a T3 oil return line and to slot the holes on the downpipe flange (unless you have our downpipe in which case it's already slotted). The water lines are different so you can either get T3 water lines or just not run water cooling lines to the turbo (I don't run them).
I can't say whether you can make the Merkur FMIC work, I don't know your capabilities.

Please try to improve your spelling and sentence structure a bit so it's not so hard to figure out what you are saying.
If your dad is a fabricator (I assume that's what "faber" is) then it should be possible.
