should work rather nicely. It's just a tad smaller then my old setup and that untuned I made 356whp so he should definitely make a nice even 350 whp or so

Just a heads up, you'll have to dent the firewall slightly for the cold side to clear it. I have the same turbo and manifold. You'll have to remove the insulaton from the firewall too.
