Complete noob here and know close to nothing about FI but just throwing this out there;
what about using the MM turbo with another kits piping, since the turbo he selected was tested and seemed to be the best fit for this car? <--(from his opinion)
Knowing he tunes for torque rather HP wouldnt this turbo be the platform to begin upgrading from? Is it even possible?
Sorry for the noobness.

It is a decent choice for a high-mount, though.

Wow.
Its 40mm longer and 40mm wider than the 3071.
When I played with the 3582. I couldn't even get it to fit between the motor and the floor pan WITHOUT the manifold.
Not to mention the motor mount, intake manifold and downpipe.
That's a 600 HP turbo.

On the left is the minimum exhaust flow to achieve the desired Pr on the bottom.

You got an 3582 mounted in the GReddy position?
Wow.
Its 40mm longer and 40mm wider than the 3071.
