You have to turn it round, take it apart and turn the exhaust housing round, I think.

No pics where you can tell something has been done

It will fit, you won't be the first to put a T34 on to an RST. Not 100% sure what you have to do. Alex raised a good point though, not really worth it unless you are planning above 260bhp anytime soon, in my opinion.

you can run 230hp on a Stage 3 T3, Standard rods are good for around 270hp.....

you won't get past 250hp anyway on standard management, without serious modding anyway
