98 S70 T5 turbo

Post by awdsubaru »

I have been searching and pulling out my hair, trying to figure out if a 98t5 turbo has the angled flange. I see some posts say yes, and I read some other info indicating its straight.
I have found someone selling the turbo, but he hasn't pulled it from the car yet, and he doesn't know if its angled or not.

Any definitive answers?

Thanks.

Mine (same model as yours) is a straight flanged T16 but I understand that even with our models, some were angled. Best bet is a visual inspection to make sure.
