Derek, I am doing a CAD model of a turbocharger for a project at school. I thought I made the turbo larger than realistic, but by the looks of yours, maybe my model isn't that unrealistic!

If the inlet is less then 114 mm, it's not.... and within another couple years, 120 won't be either

I don't think a setup that would be right for a 114 would fit in that car, nor would the car be able to take it to be honest.
