I’m fairly certain that is a SFR kit by looking at the turbo location and the stainless coolant line. It actually doesn’t look changed at all for that car.

If you have any questions about installing this kit, i can help. I just did the install myself.

The GReddy kit was designed on a RHD car. The instructions even show the RHD steering column in the pix.

/\ I didn't say you can't get it to fit - but i'd like to see anyone get it in there without doing a few mods to the pipework and power steering bracket .
