Arrow Will This Turbo Be Direct Swap?

I am looking at buying a 2003 Evo 8 that is fully built and it has an FP black turbo. I am looking to make a little bit more power. Right now it's making 621 WHP on E85 and about 425 WHP on pump gas.

Would the FPZero be a direct bolt on replacement for the FPblack? Below is the specs of The build as well as the fueling system. I'm just looking to see if you guys could help me verify this EVO I am looking to buy is a strong enough build and enough fueling setup for the FPzero and if it would directly replace FPblack direct swap and if the manifold that's on there now would be good enough and I wouldn't have to change anything else.

Allow me to ask why? What are your plans with the car that 621whp isn't enough?

I suggest this to everyone looking at buying and building an evo, think about how you are going to use the car 99% of the time and build for that.
It might mean a 450whp street car or it it might mean a 1300whp drag car but be honest about it bc nothing is worse than building a car that you end up hating.

To answer the question asked, sure the Zero will bolt on but why lol. The black is already pretty large in my opinion for a street car.

GT3076r seems laggy to me -- and they're kind of a middle-of-the-road turbo around here. But to each their own!
