Depends on the manifold you use, but there is plenty of room..

i have kinda skimmed over the gsl-se getting a t2 engine, but how hard would it be to put that in a gs? alot harder? not that i have the money resources to do so, just a thought (even though i would LOVE to do it)

would love to say i need help with doing this, but im not.. im 16 and dont have the money for a project like that. but just for knowledgable purposes, what is involved as far as wiring? do you take the t2 ecu and wire it up yourself? how exactly does that work? you know stuff like that.

anyone know where to get USED turbo engines, i have been looking into jspec stuff but its all around $1100, these engines are strong, i dont mind getting one with some miles if I dont have to pay as much.
