im also keen to know other experience of this.

all i have found so far is that they are not a bolt on change, you need to alter manifolds etc.

From what I can gather, the difference between the two will not be huge, however most ct 20's are quite old and not performing as well as they should. so comparing a new ct 20 to a new garret t25, is not the same as comparing your clapped out ct20 with a new garret t25.

my old ct20 is only making 4psi :x

From what I know the manifold, turbo and exhaust from a 2.4 surf will bolt straight on. Perhaps this is a way around modifying manifolds and the like

Cheers.

these will bolt straight on for the ct 20, but i believe the garret etc after market turbos dont bolt straight up to the ct set up, so you would need new manifolds etc.

I have drawings for adapters to fit a T25 onto a CT20 manifold.
PM me your email address if you'd like a copy.

I also need a gineau pig to confirm the measurements on the CT20 manifold.
