Make sure you get one made for a T3 manifold. T3 is the bolt spacing on the manifold. A majority of 40's are T4. You'll also need a 4" down pipe. Factory is only 3". Other than that they bolt right up. The other thing to look at is exhaust housing size. You'll want to use on with a 16cm housing. Anything bigger and it'll be a laggy pig.
I'd recomend getting a super hx40. They move more air then and standard 40. I had one in a twins setup and it was a good turbo.

hey-Hey!!!,
If y'all will pardon the hijack...is it possible to put an 8-blade compressor on a Super 40? I don't think I'll need that much flow and the higher efficiency of the 8-blade is attractive...expecially combined with the bigger turbine wheel mated to a 16 cm housing.
cheers,
Douglas

has anyone had any experience with the ones they are selling on ebay for like 300.00? they are some chinese made thing....kinda scares me to think that they can make one that cheap.

they are junk. there's a million threads on those things.

basicly a scam as they are not adequate enough for even a gasser.
