Physically yes, it will bolt up save for the intake and downpipe. You will also need to buy a VVT turbo controller, fleece performance makes these i believe. Look for brayden on here, he is the fleece vendor on this forum. Good luck.

As far as i know, yes. However i could be missing something, as i have never done that swap in particular.

Sorry if I sound ignorant but I don't know much about VVT turbos but are the controller and the turbo brake the same thing?
