It will bolt to the block OK but there are a few things
1)Stock turbo T2 Flange does not fit
2)Custom DP needed
3)You need an external wastegate

That is just the beginning $$$. If you want a direct fit but no custom work, look for
a steedspeed or a Thunder. There are a few in the FS section.

^What he said, plus the fact that the OBX manifold has been proven as junk.

aight thanks, does anyone have a link for a thunder v1 or v2 for not to high on price?

 

[KrayzieFox]

Thunder is sold by a forum member. His username is Protephile. Send him a PM and he should be able to hook you up with a brand new v2 for about $400 I believe. Otherwise he may have some revised v1's available for $300 or so.

The Steedspeed is $650 but well worth the money.

I dunno, never heard of it but it doesn't look impressive. And at a price tag of $575.60 I would just throw in another $75 and get the Steed..

yep your right thought id throw it out there though.
