Cool, thanks for the pics, it does look like a decent upgrade from the RB20 stocker. Maybe some work needed on the oil/water lines, some adapting of the output flange, but not too bad..... :)

this turbo should be efficient to atleast 350whp

the oil line and water line shouldn't be hard, because they uses generic adapters. i believe the rb20 oil line will directly bolt on w/o mod. the water line, however, you probably need some NTP adapters

I imagine lag would probably be similar to maybe a Z31 turbo? Boost coming on at around 3000, full boost by 4 or so.....
