Need help installing a gtx3076r to my rb25det

I have a stock turbo setup on my RB25DET and received my first turbo replacement today, the gtx3076r. I wanted to know what parts I need to complete the installation, thanks!

The standard turbo is a T3 flange so the turbo will bolt up in factory position providing you haven't got a special rear housing like a tial one. The downpipe will need to be modified to match the v band flange rather than the garrett 5 bolt pattern. Then custom air intake and intercooler pipe work. I'd imagine you can make the standard water lines work with a slight bit of tweaking oil feed may need to be a custom braided line

The gtx3076r is a T3 .82. How will I have to modify the downpipe to match the v band? Do I need new gasket rings, inlets, outlets, any other connections?

I have heard tell of a 10mm spacer being involved in this swap but haven't done it myself. Search and you should find a number of references.

Don't forget injectors, boost controller, wastegate, ECU and a tune. You'll also need a Z32 airflow meter unless you're going with a MAP sensor. The 10mm spacer is put in between the turbo and the manifold to prevent the compressor housing from touching the cylinder head. Just fabricate a new down pipe that will bolt onto your existing exhaust system, but you'll need a V-band flange to attach onto the turbo.

Then there's the clutch to support the power, tyres and wheels for traction, possibly coilpacks etc

You didn't mention if it's internal or externally gated. The process is a lot simpler and cheaper if it's internally gated.
