that turbo is a bit too small honestly....what are your plans front or rear mount?
either way you go, you will need to make new piping since this turbo is way different than most....
i say this because i did a custom turbo set up(experimental) using an inexpensive turbo on a 4.8 chevy truck baby Ls1 if you will. it had almost 200 whp after the build it had 444 whp then upped the boost and hit 496whp on an "inexpensive turbo."
lt1 cars are very limited on space and boost levels REALQUICK has some great turbo setups you may want to look at. http://lt1boost.net/

Do it right - don't waste your time and money on mix and match stuff.
