* If anyone buys this turbo and is gonna install it on a GReddy manifold, I have a RM 2.5" downpipe to fit as well as hard-line coolant lines. *

* If anyone buys this turbo and wants a big ugly tubular stainless manifold and 3" stainless downpipe, I have that too. *

If no one buys this turbo soon i'll buy it and sell it along with one of the above combos.

This turbo also works great on 2.2l subarus

So are you saying this could be a replacement turbo for the Greddy kit? Forgive my ignorance if i read that wrong, but if so that would be an idea.

It bolts to the Greddy manifold (both are T2 style flange), but the downpipe flange is different. I bought a RM downpipe, cut of the greddy flange, and replaced it with the flange for this turbo. If you wanted this turbo to be a bolt-on replacement to the GReddy turbo, you could buy this turbo and my downpipe and get 99% of the way there.

i run a 16g but this is so off topic i reccomend the small 16g over the big for sub 15 psi operation. and the evo3 over the big for more flow everywhere.
