Its a large quality bar and plate intercooler and the pipes exit on the drivers side so I cant imagine that with a few couplers you cant make it meet any turbo system. It was designed for the FM systems and I had it on a Greddy turbo. Its larger than the current "stripes" intercooler I have that I plan on running 15 psi with. It also mounts MUCH easier.
I would modify it much. Concider it a core and build the piping yourself. I had a FM-II intercooler, and lost several psi across the intercooler piping. It really hurts response. When I went to the 'new style' tubing, the molded stuff, the car feels much more like an NA car - pressing the gas has an immediate effect on the engine.
I know clocking a turbo is easy, but my filter sits by the headlight cover and my turbo sits lower than the turbo on a greddy kit. If I clocked the turbo to the stock greddy position the piping would interfere w/ the filter so i need piping that would work w/ the turbo clocked at 12
