Question Changing from a TD06 to a T78 or T88?

Just like the title says: What do I need besides the turbo to change my Greddy TD0620G set-up to a T-78 or T-88 set-up. Will the current manifold work? Will I have to do some modifications to the downpipe? I called Greddy and was on hold for 10 minutes with no answer. I used the search function and still no love. There was no real answer to this question. Thanks Alot people and happy driving!

If i'm correct, it's a T4 flange. I talked to Jason (RX7store) a little bit about it and that's what he said awhile back. Is there anyway I can look to find out. Oh I just changed my plugs and wires (NGK 9's all around, & magnecor 10mm wires). Wow; It's alot diffrent changing them on an FD, then any other car.

I'm located at Shaw Air Force Base, Near Sumter. Sorry, I won't be able to make it to charleston this weekend. Gas prices are crazy, and work is keeping me close. I would highly recommend going single. It cleans things up and it seems you power gains are unresticted; If that makes sense... I would suggest something in the, T-78 range. That's were I'm trying to go. The TD0620G is O.K. It just does not have the push I'm looking for. Hopefully someone will be able to answer my question. If not I will take it to Rotor Sports Racing and get it retuned + upgraded fuel system. So many options. Hey I hope to catch up with you SC guys sometime. Me and Flyboyjudge are just up here hanging out in Sumter. He's got a white 94 with a T60-1. Well talk to you later.

Depending on how much boost you want to run..i would get a front mount. The greddy is good for smaller singles and low boost. But once you start running higher, it gets heat soaked very quick, and you lose alot of performance...the dp might fit..im not sure.
