Clock the compressor and you are good to go. It is a direct drop in. Only turbos bigger than a 16G/T28 will need a top mount.

And BTW, you suck. That is a great price! +, you should be able to tune upwards of 270hp on that (at around 16-18psi)

I thought you had a top mount CA19DET?

But yeah, you can fit a lot more turbo down there w/o a steering shaft and MC in the way

Are you talking about the GT25R or the GT25/40R? BIIIIG difference. The GT25R has a small T25 compressor housing usually with the .49 or .60 A/R and is good for about 250 FLYWHEEL HP. The GT25/40R has a ginormous T04S compressor housing and is good for 350-400whp. It's laggy as a SOB though even with the smaller .64 turbine housing. $300 definitely sounds like the price of the GT25R as they are only about $600 new.

the bigger one clears the manifold, but hits the motor mount bracket... just for future reference

Damn, I could have sworn that the GT25R had bigger A/R options than that. I mean, my T25G has .80a/r compressor housing.

for that kinda money get a brand new evoIII big 16G. i just did 258 at 14psi on stock injectors, KA24e maf. and i think i can build boost faster once i re adjust my HKS actuator and hook my boost controller back up correctly.
