no it wont, you need a new turbo manifold and if your gonna buy a new turbo manifold you need to buy the turbo to go with it, and since the dodge manifold wont fit on our 7's you cant use it. you either pay 3+ grand for a whole new turbo setup or you keep the stocker.

or you can upgrade to a S5 turbo/manifold...

It will work! but it isn't as simple as slapping on the turbo!
You will need to custom make a custom turbo manifold, because those turbos have integrated wastegates, you won't need an extrenal one. But you will need to upgrade your entire fuel system, Fuel pump, regulator, injectorsl. You will most likely want to do stand alone Engine Management. you would want to do a FMIC and you would have to do the pipping as well and a good BOV would also be preferable, ontop of this you will need a custom Down Pipe! not to mention custom oil lines and or water if it is luiquid cooled turbo! it is alot of work... but yes it can be done!

which is exactly why i said no... you CANT... because if you going to go through all that trouble to begin with, you might as well save a little extra for a good turbo...

But those turbos will make good power and good spool if he has one, and does the rest! then all he has to do when he wants to replace the turbo with a different one, is only about 100 maybe more worth of work! and still get huge gains... I would do it if it were me!
