should be a direct swap. dont know what power gain you get but u do get boost up until limiter the is no dip at the end no need to tune the car but if you have aftermarket management best to get it tuned you will get more out of it

Anything with a T2 flange should bolt straight onto the stock exhaust mani of the CA18. But if it will work well is another question entirely, including power gain. As SonOfAnarchy ZA said you will have to get it retuned to get the most out of the new turbo.

You can look at the SR20 turbo, or you can look at something more expensive like the GT2871R from Garrett. Hope that helps.

Bolts on, but you have to clock the turbo a bit, also the front housing is not exactly the same so you will need to have some rubber pipes in hand to mod that to the air box
