anything can fit.

with that said, yes it will fit as its smaller than most large I/C's but the one thing that might hurt performance is the inlet/outlet size which is around 2-2.5". which IIRC is fine for most smaller size turbos, but once you need the bigger 3" in/outs you'll have already maxed out the efficiency of the i/c.

the evo i/c CAN do fine for a particular street setup but i wouldn't hold my breath.

it might actually work pretty well on a stock turbo, probably a low pressure drop.

I'm using one on my vmount. I'll have to get back to you on how efficient it is since I haven't gotten to the dyno on this setup yet.

The major points of my mods are:

BNR Stage 3
750cc Secondaries
and pretty much every other basic mod (I/E, FCD, etc...)

But, using the vmount and my stock turbo @ ~14psi (yes, I know that was passed the effeciency) I managed a 13.5 @ 103mph at the track.

I'm hoping to get mid 12s with this new set up...pending I can get the tires to hook up. I did a few passes on this new setup @6psi and did a 14.1 @ 100mph but I was spinning first and part of second.

i have one on my fc,really easy to install to,i used the stock evo brackets with a small adapter plate that i made and i bolted on to the the oil cooler mounts,im running a 62-1 in a HB motor with 2 1/2 intercooler piping and i see no problem at all in fact in 5 gear i can smash the gas and the boost goes to 18 psi and it stays on there until redline
