Hey nice turbo, looks a lot like mine. There are two problems with using a CT-26 turbo, one, it's not clocked correctly, since the toyota engines have the exhaust on the other side and two, the flange is not typical which requires some type of custom work on the manifold.
You can see what I did about both of those problems in that picture that was posted.
I like the turbo, I think it's a very good size for a moderate boosting car. I wouldn't want to go much higher then 15psi with it. I ran it at 7psi which is stock for the wastegate, and it worked great.
