Reclocking the mid section if he has the stock 1st gen manifold. Also I think the waste gate might need some work...

The manifold inlets need opened because our exhaust ports are rectangualar. Even then I doubt the turbo will even sit there cause of the firwall. And I am sure that the exhaust won't work.

How 'bout upside down ?
That'll move the turbo flange toward the front.
Plenty of room for exhaust...And even another turbo ?

What's the difference on an 03 versus the 02 turbos?
