I just looked at mine again and looks like it is a watercooled one haha - its just the water inlet and outlet are tapped holes in the turbo housing that I assumed were just for fixing it to the chassis somehow. Thats gonna complicate the installation a bit
I'm not even sure I got the right one as I didnt' know the Saab 9000 T25 came in different varieties. To be honest I think they would all work - you just need to manifold -> turbo flange constructed and the downpipe cut/welded. Getting the downpipe right is gonna be the hardest thing I think - not sure how I'm going to determine exactly how to cut and weld it without actually fitting the turbo first then doing some kind of trial/improvement process...I wanna avoid that kind of 'downtime' with the car if possible.
Anyway, the part number on mine is 452083-15, hope that helps!

Ahh yeah that helps me too lol, I thought I didn't remember pumanoob saying anything about watercooling and as far as I know we have the same turbo.
For a low boost turbo there is probably no great benefit to connecting it, as lower pressure=lower air temperatures, and I'll be running an intercooler anyway. Watercooling would probably only lower the temperature of the air going into the engine by like 5°C.
How did you do your downpipe/exhaust setup hillbilly? I know Pumanoob used a modified Saab 9000 one, did you go the same route?

ComPuma with Air/Fuel Gauge:
Ok, so the gauge looks rubbish Its a temporary one I knocked up in Photoshop until I can be bothered to do a proper one!
It works though anyway.
