so I am ready to install my gt2871r, and I am a newb for installing turbos, first thing is its s13 I have a t25 on now, so I am looking at it, the Intake and hotpipe outlets on the turbo are different than what is on the turbo, im sure this is supposed to be like this? actually now that I think about it the hot pipe might be fine but as for the intake do you guys just find someone to fab up metal piping and then get some silicone couplers, It looks like I might need one that steps the size down, I havent seen anything on the shops sites or ebay to help me, also I have the enjuku metal intake. just need some input, thanks.

they have all sizes of coupler at PDM. (www.pdm-racing.com)

I haven't done the turbo upgrade yet myself, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING as u go and we can have a tutorial for future use!!! I'll host it for u if need be, but I'd really like a walkthru of the process, as I was contemplating that exact turbo...

If it's anything like the T28 which I believe it is, cut and reweld your t25 inlet and you are good to go.
