will these two parts work for a turbo on a 2.2L auto? It's my DD so it wouldn't cross 5-6 psi

since you're not sure if a T3 turbo fits a T3 manifold, I'd suggest reading up more about the topic before deciding on anything.

Also, I wouldn't use an ebay turbo for a door stop, let alone put it on a car I care about.

read up about turbo sizing (trim, a/r) before deciding on anything

I guess I wasnt so clear before. Wanted to know if these two parts were of good quality not if they worked together. Since the ebay turbo has been deemed unfit where are other companies to look from? I know about Greddy and hahn but I wanna explore other options.

go to the junkyards and grab a MHI 14b-16g off a dsm, a 13b/t25 off a probe gt-lebaron turbo or second gen dsm, air research/garret's found on 90's mercedes diesels, or the same turbo along with the kkk 40 trim on saab turbos from the 90's. then buy a rebuild kit and you have a new turbo for $220(75 for the turbo and 125 for the journal bearing/seal rebuild kit). if you buy a ebay turbo your gonna have to end up rebuilding it after no time due to the inferior bearings and seals. so save yourself some money and get a old turbo and rebuild it. make sure the turbo you snag doesnt have too much play/chatter, as a turbo with tons of shaft play most likely has turbine fin damage if not housing and center section damage.
