The mod is pretty easy - just requires a manifold adapter and some mucking around with oil and water lines. Boost response is about even with CT20 but gives better high end flow. Only bad thing is getting the oil drain from the turbo back to the motor. I've found that when you add an adapter between the manifold and the turbo inlet it drops the turbo down quite a bit relative to the engine block. This causes the oil drain pipe to have a fall of only 15 degrees off horizontal. This results in oil and foam filling the turbo and passing through the exhaust seals on engine overrun (after the turbo has stopped spinning) causing smoke from the exhaust. A bit embarrassing. Anyone else had similar problems? [Report message to a moderator]
