Its bullsh!t.

You need manifold, downpipe, supporting hardware. Once you have all that then its 'bolt on'?

then map

Tons of threads on it

It does fit on, but not a straight swap.

You have to swap other stuff to make it fit. Not just the turbo. Pretty much everything it connects to is different

RTec are seeing mad results from the KO3s (up to about 280bhp IIRC).  The issue I would then raise is whether you can put that onto the road? wheel spin would be mad I should think.

Depends what your aiming from from the car, bear in mind a rough guide of 300torque and above you'll be looking at internal upgrades...
