You will just have to try and see if you can make it work. Anything is possible.

in theory anything is possible and will work.

but if its the big front mount like I tried forget it unless you plan to use the rad too. I had awful fitment issues with this thing and it couldnt hold its own. Meaning it could not hold 7psi of boost from a t25 for me at least. IDK I did use some parts from the volvo though I had a recirc valve from one ran as an ota bov that was adjustable managed to eleminate stalls and what not on decel with it, on a draw thru maf setup

its probably a 15G turbo. I used one on my KA for awile. It spools fast but the top end was not that good. Its a good starter turbo for a stock motor.
