As long as you're running a P-trim turbine, it will swap out.
I can't comment on if it'll still fit in your engine bay, since the on-center positions the turbo differently.

I don't really think you want a tangential housing on a non tanggential manifold.

If it will fit, he most definitely doesn't want that on-center turbine housing.

Well I appreciate all you guy’s information but I need to find answers to my situation. I can only afford the hks cast manifold so I need to know if the .96 A/R will fit my turbo and the manifold?

how do i find out if my turbo is a p trim?

You need to pop the turbine housing off the CHRA and measure the wheel specs.
