hey guys, (and gals) i am about to replace my stock turbo w/ a new one, and was wondering if the gt2871r is a direct fit. would i need to change out my exhaust mani, hot side c/p, and intake?

also i know a lot of ppl suggest the bnr 2871, but isn't it the same as a garrett?

 

the bnr 2871 is a direct bolt on. if you just get a gt2871 from garret you'll need a new exhaust mani, and downpipe

 

that would be correct
the bnr uses the stock k04 and puts a 28 compressor wheel into it
