Comparison of GT28RS (disco potato) to original turbo (GT17).
Another comparison shot.
Test fitting new turbo to manifold.
After a lot of aggravation and massaging,the thing finally fit.It required a double stack on the exhaust manifold gasket and a 1/4" thick adapter plate in order to move the much larger compressor side far enough away from the block so that it would bolt up.
