I installed a disco potato(gt28rs). The turbo has the option of coming with a GT28 style compressor housing which gives you the cast manifolds for stock piping. I opted for the straight 3" intake



I rigged up an intake using the enjuku intake i had as well as part of an eclipe intake i got off ebay for $15 (had the angle i was looking for). It's really not hard.

The turbo oil return flange needed to be filed as the bolt patterns are differen and i cut alot off of it and just used a longer hose as the angle wasn't exactly stock due to clocking the turbo for the wastegate acuator to clear.



Also the bolt pattern for exhaust is slightly off on one hole, i had to file the gasket slightly as well as the O2 extension, again, really easy to do. (sorry no pic of this, but its clear when you have it in your hand what needs to be done)

The stock hot pipe couplers/piping can be used with this turbo, just make sure you leave enough room when clocking the turbo to clear your manifold.

this is it installed with a shitty pepboys intake ducting (only thing i could find at the time)



can't really see it here but i ditched the shitty hose after hacking away at some piping i found on ebay by just browsing pictures of "cold air intakes" =]



Hope that helps

Edit: also, this turbo does not require a custom actuator bracket, you just need to flip it around and find the right angle/clock it accordingly.
