The manifold is a t4 and downpipe is 3"

Would a gt35r swap in without modding down pipe?

I know an excellent fabricator downtown who can TIG weld at the show quality level if you need to have it modified.

The footprint to center of the downpipe is slightly different, so is the discharge length of the turbine flange. It depends on how much wiggle room you have. I think it will need a little tweaking...

Whats the purpose of swapping turbos? Failure, quicker spool, more power, etc...?
