Good choice, talk to as many people as possible and ask for advice, sum up what different people say and try to learn, have bullshit detector ON.

WRONG. With minor grinding the manifold bolts up, the turbo is of no use because it's dimensioned wrong. Add a newer turbo as meantioned in previous mail.
The trick is real easy, turn the manifold upside down and all problems are gone.

I have it on my motor and it's working excellent. Makes it fit smoth too the block and manifold, with lots of space for air around.
