Yup, but it says you need a new intake pipe, no problem.

Notice the turbo in my avatar? Yep, that's the one I plan on getting eventually. And BTW, JGY Customs has it for $999.

What do you mean without any mods?

Modifications to the turbo or supporting mods?

I think that turbo wouldn't be real hot on the CA unless you want big power and if you're going to do that, get a t3/t4. That .86 AR on the turbine side is going to equal lag on our little CA. I personally wouldn't use anything bigger than a .63 on the turbine side of this motor. Ideally, for big power and still some OK low end, I'd have a t3/t4 w/a .48 turbine housing.

Yes, there is a .64 turbine side available which wouldn't be too bad at all.
