They came off a Lebaron 2.2L motor, right?

What engine is in the Swift GT?

One turbo that size for the Dakota might be a little small on the compressor
side....

Most likely, the turbines are fine, but the compressor size might be an
issue...

E-amil me offlist if you want to get more indepth into this...

Later,
