First off you need to know what size/ bolt pattern the hotside of the turbo. A vband flange will only work on a v-band hotside

Your gonna need a custom downpipe made. Any exhuast shop should be able to tackle the task. A downpipe used for stock turbos will not work with a larger frame turbo

Also don't forget you have an o2 sensor that goes after the turbo

Yes, your stock turbo downpipe will not be used with the 30r. your new dp will depend on the mounting orientation of the turbo manifold and the turbo itself. Most turbo kits will come with a compatible dp, so if you know what kit (namely what turbo manifold) is being used, you can probably source a premade dp. And of course u will need to ensure the dp matches your turbine housing flange pattern (4/5 bolt, v-band).

find out what flange or bolt pattern the hot side on the turbo is. After you do that, there are numerous companys that sell a 4 bolt, 5 bolt, or v band 02 hosing/downpipe for your specific turbo.
