You will not be able to bolt it on if it is not an on center housing...it will take quite a bit of modification. You can also have a simple turbo kit and not leave tons of power on the table with a bad designed hotside. I'm just trying to help, I have watched people spend alot of money and time trying to get badly designed stuff to run right.

I spoke to drturbo before i had ordered it. I had told him i was running a pte67 with a 4inch inlet,and .96 ar housing. He said it should be the same pyhsical size and should bolt right up.

I do hear what your saying on getting a better designed hot side. And i will with money allows but for right now i figure that this is the turbo im going to carry on to my next setup so why not get it now.

Sounds like the fact that it is on center was left out....I'd double check with him.
