Nope it wont fit!

the flange that goes onto the down -pipe is different!

your s1/s2 has a 2 bolt flange where as the cossie turbo has a 3 bolt flange!

dont worry about the water feed... no need to use it.
you will as ginge saysneed to fabricate/fashion somesort of down pipe as the 3 stud cossie one is much different compared with that of the RST.
(unless you use an RST exhousing!)

the zorst housing on a saphy turbo is .48 not .36, the 4x4 tuirbos have a tiny weeny bit larger compressor housing too


oh and they flow better due to the design

depends how cheep tbh, a down pipe is gonna st ya back a MAX of 40 quid, the fabrication can be done at a zorst place and the advantage is hybrid cossie t3's are 10 a penny compared to a stage 3 erst hybrid, also ya can fit a t34 to is aswell for cheepness after too as they need the fabricated down pipe

swap the ex manifolds over and it will . The core can run without water but ppl have differing opinions on that. The compressor side of a 2wd will fit perfect as same just need to swap your ex manifold for the cos one (6 bolts with clamp strips) job done
