you may have to do a little work, but not to much I don't think. I do believe the flange on our cars is the same as the DSM's.

Any guru's correct me if I'm wrong. I mod lots of cars, but the TGP I have is the first TGP I've ever tried to mod

It looks like you'd have to do a good deal of work to get it to fit correctly. Why not just have yours rebuilt? Or buy a kit and do it yourself?

Without seeing the flange the down pipe bolts to I wouldn't touch it. Doesn't look like the 5 bolt pattern. They come in all kinds of flavors. Can't even tell if this one has the internal waste gate. You have a rectangle compressor inlet not round. Fitting will be banjo style not tube so all your lines won?t work. If you need some pictures of what to look for let me know. I took a bunch when I put my t28 on.

sure, i'd like to see your pictures.  I haven't even gotten my car yet, so i'm just assuming that the turbo is in fact shot.  Just looking around for ball park figures on a rebuild.

The exhaust housing is very different. Both the inlet and outlet are different and I don't believe they use and integral wastegate.

Its nice to have the built in turn for the outlet.
