I bought that same turbo off ebay. The compressor it comes with is a B25 and is very small for a rotary can make about 300hp at the most. The exhaust wheel,cartridge and exhaust housing are great though. I swaped the compressor out with a 60-1 hifi wheel set and housing works very well.

Its pretty easy. Unbolt the compressor and turbine housing. Put the end of the turbine wheel in a vise with a rag unscrew the nut on top of the compressor wheel and pull off the wheel. Then take the 4 bolts of the compressor back plate. Then reverse order of removal. Takes about 20 mins. I was told by a turbo rebuilder that nothing needs to be rebalanced because the turbine wheel and shaft and the compressor wheel are balanced seprate from each other. Been working fine for 500 miles on this turbo and I did my old compressor upgrade the same way. Was working fine for 4000 miles before I upgraded to the new turbo.

As far as fittings go, get the turbo then post pic's of the holes where you need to screw fittings into. I'm guessing the inlet is 1/4 pipe and the drain is a flange or 1/2" pipe.

cool,
then my next question is, what kind of AN adapter do I need to connect to either the stock oil hard line, or the banjo fitting on the block.

I got the return figured out.
