first hit caps lock one more time...then you might have to make some new piping to get everything to hook up properly

The Z32 turbo is WAY to small to be using for starters. Granted, you'll have boost at idle...lol...but it is going to choke the crap out of the motor and it'll be nothing but a big heat pump for the air entering the motor.

But if you're going to keep it, May I suggest getting a couple of angle silicone couplers, that way you can turn the comp housing to allow the wastegate to fit and you may not need new piping. You can always just use some flexible rubber tubing. I did for awhile on my Skyline. The tubing just isn't good for alot of boost.

AGREED! If nothing else, find a Z31 T3, then make yourself a T28. Still a little small, but some people seem to enjoy it. Me, I got the T3 from a Z, then a rebuild kit for a T4. New cold side altogether plus all my bearings, dig. T3/T4ob for cheap. But no, T25 is cool too. :'(
