put on a gt35/40, does any custom work need to be done to it to make it fit on? and what is the minimum amount of work i need to have the turbo run right? intercooler, upgrade fuel pump? can i keep the stock injectors if i run like 8lbs of boost? or if anyone has a write up or a how-to that would be awesome too, thanks

It bolts right on. You need to ditch the air pump. You at least should have intercooler, full exhaust with midpipe or high flow cat, stand alone engine management (power fc or haltech, etc). You need to make a block off plate for the 2nd oil retun line that isn't used. Its pointless to get this turbo if you are only going to run 8 psi. I guess you could for a while, but you really need to get some 1600cc injectors, custom fuel rail, and a fuel pressure regulator. Ignition is nice but not necessary untill around 20 psi. Do it right the first time, or blow up and spend more in the long run.

I had to use a Greddy turbo elbow and a 2.75" to 2.5" reducer coupling to mate to the 3-row intercooler pipe.



I imagine if you were using a Greddy 2 row IC you could use a straight coupler but you'd still have to find an elbow or have one fabbed.



You're going to need engine managment.

Nope, you can't fit the airpump. The turbo sits too far up and forward.
