that depends on the old school green's compressor exducer diameter. when you put a bigger wheel on the compressor side you have to cut the back plate for the new wheel and if the green's wheel is bigger than the 25g wheel then yes it will fit but it wont be fitted to the new wheel which in turn ends up equating to losses.

sure did! how ya been? everything went well. even the install was cake. the turbo was an immediate change in the power band as the boost comes on solid and stays solid throughout so it feels very linear. im in the process of pulling my oil pan off and checking everything downstairs before i turn up the boost. currently at 17-20psi the car feels faster than it did on the stock ported 9 turbo at 24-26psi tapering to 21psi. the new turbo does not taper at all. =)

I was very happy to discover the same thing,even at 30 psi it only goes down to 29 psi on the top end.

Been driving mine around since may 5th and all i need is a tune to break 400whp on pump. this thing changed my powerband pretty well. i kept my stock hotside and turbine along with my stock wastegate and dont have any issues with boost or holding boost. dyno sheets will come next week for certain now!

viiidrive good call i wish i had the money to do that right now but fund are running low if you could send over pics of how you did it sometime id appreciate it for future reference! my email is stanlsha@hotmail.com i look forward to seeing what numbers you put down what cams are you going to run?
boostz sounds great id like to see the torque curve of this thing with the stock turbine wheel still on it rreally seems like spool isnt too much of an issue from what i saw

got it and the piece looks great that is deffinately something im going to consider when i have fund as an external gate would be much more efficient... did you completely remove the wastegate flap or how did you approach that?... the shop in the pic looks great too btw a little jealous haha.... s2's are great wish i had a set my self but i plan to grab the s2r's when they come out 
.... but yeah the dump looks great.... out of curiosity is one the dp bolts going into your muse dump a pain in the *****? i think its the passenger side on mine, dont know if its common or somethings off with my threads

yeah that seems like it would be the best approach maybe you can do a little porting/ deburring while your there... ah i see i see haha very nice wish i worked at a biug shop like that!
yeah im thinking its just mine i think next time i have it off ill go in and run a cleanout through it to touch up the threads hopefully that will help
