Can I buy a "period" please. Punctuation helps a lot. I'm sure they taught you that in school. Please use it. It makes it really hard to keep up with what is in YOUR head.

Sure he can use the turbo, but like you said, he'll need a flange for the t25, along with coolant and oil lines. Both of them, input and output.
The t25 is a weak turbo though, it's a waste of time to put in the work and money, just to run out of breath at redline.

remember this, money is the object of the game. If he is willing to buy it, then sell it to him. It then becomes his headache to worry about. Not yours.
As for if it will fit, and work. making a turbo mainfold is not that difficult. All you need is the upper portion of the exhaust manifold, and then just make an adapter plate. Bout 3/4 inch steel plate, with the top drilled for the exhaust manifold bolts, and the bottom of the adapter drilled for the turbo. Mount studs in the bottom, and bolt it on. As for the oil, and coolant lines, you may need to do some junkyarding, and find a turbo with the lines already on it, and then just take them, put them on your turbo, cut them down to about three inches long, flare the ends, get some high quality hose, and make your connections.
your bigger concern tho will be in the form of engine management, as you will need some way of adding more fuel, getting bigger injectors, and a higher volume fuel pump. Coarse all that leads to the need for an intercooler, and a bigger radiator with good fans.

All of these things can be found in a junkyard, and you can build a decent system for little money that way. Good, luck and holla if you got anymore questions

you can use the factory manifold, but be forewarned that it is extremely restrictive and his hp and tq gains will be severly marginalized if he makes it like that, especially if he was unfortunate enough to have a car with Cali-spec emissions. Best bet is to find a performance shop that can build him a custom manifold. And as soundcolor said, there's more to it than just slapping on a turbo. He'll need a bigger set of injectors, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, intercooler piping, a quality FMIC, blow off valve, something to tune it all with, a boost controller would be helpful, he'll need at least a 2.5" exhaust. Then lets not forget that he'll need a way to get the additional power to the ground, so an upgraded clutch and flywheel (he is wanting to turbo a 5spd right.......if not, you officially have license to point and laugh), he'll need to stop better, so upgraded rotors and pads, and what goods all the power if you can't take the turns, so he'll have to upgrade the suspension to get the full package. It's a project not meant for the faint of heart.
