my bro gettin rid of his EVOs OEM turbo.... can i install it on my s2k as am not after a freaking high HP, just to give it a bit boost and torque + am gettin it for free

question is can i install it? if yes, will i have to lower my engine compression?
and much hp & torue will i gain aprox

any other tips to help me with torque

I bet it is possible to install that turbo but you would have to custom fab a ton of parts including turbo exhaust manifold, downpipe, intercooler piping, and i'm not sure if those have an internal wastegate so depending on that you might have to fab a a wastegate dump tube. I'm not sure how big the turbo is or how much boost you would run so to give an idea I have seen turbo's on the s2k range from 245hp to 700hp depending how much work you want to do.... and depending on how much boost you run you might need to lower compression... I am at 8psi and have not lowered compression, any higher than that and you would atleast need a thicker headgasket...

Yes it can be done. A better question might be: Should you do it? That is a totally different answer.

if you have to ask you dont have the ability to do it.

from pictures i have seen, the turbo does not use a standard flange, so the money you save by getting a free turbo will be offset by having to source an inlet and downpipe flange, or finding an exhaust housing with a standard flange.

The OEM turbo on Evo's depending on year generally run about 21-23 psi which is way too much for our car without significant engine build and powertrain build. The evo turbo is too big and you will have too much turbo lag and if you set the wastegate to release at lower psi you will never be in the turbo's optimum efficiency so why even bother.

I believe all i have said is correct but somebody check me on this

there is QUITE a bit more to it than that, but in any case, the first hurdle is getting it to fit.

sell the turbo and use that to put towards a turbo kit.
