I am talking about the width of the compressor housing with the wastegate actuator and the length of the CHRA and Turbine housing. With the actuator I had manufactured it doesn't leave a lot of room between the frames rails and the turbo.

It will definitely require some extra work to get it to fit . On top of possible actuator issues ,the 3" inlet will need a reducer made and the outlet will require a 90 degree coupler etc . But those areas both need improvement on the Greddy anyway . If someone can be bothered with the hassle , the turbo itself looks like the ideal thing for the greddy kit .

If I didn't already have a 60-1 , I would get it and make it fit ....................

25g compressor (billet option) which is comparable to 60-1

There would be a few fitment issues to deal with but I really think it would be well worth the extra effort . With the 9 blade turbine this could be just what we need for a fast spooling reliable 350whp setup.

I cannot find a flow map for this on the interwebz, I have a problem understanding what you base this statement on(Need for understanding is a engineers curse). Sorry for the ignorance

I couldn't find a flow map for the 25G either . However it has a larger inducer and slightly larger exducer than the 60-1 plus it is rated as 500+whp capable(for a piston engine) in a T67 frame size which is similar to the Kinugawa . Not sure what else you would need to know ?

you won't find a map. like Brett said it's similar to a t67. the wheel size is in between a 60-1 and gt35. the best part is the turbo frame is slightly larger than the greddy unit. I still have fitment concerns with that particular turbo. I'm starting to think that other than the rx8 performance kit going top mount might be the only way to experiment with big power. the greddy upgrade is cool but being a stock frame turbo means having to really push the envelope boost wise. my car is fun but really doesn't open up until 15psi. it's fun surprising locals when on kill mode
