just water cooled turbo as the std kkk! should be ok ,if any mods for extra cooling are needed then so be it
kenlowe slim line fan to be fitted at front of rad though as std will not fit in.
as for the turbo ,theres more room than i thought, i thought i would have to take the engine out to get the turbo off if anything happens but there's easily enough room to unbolt it and /or the manifold if they need to come off, infact i even kept the original power steering pump & bracket which i was expecting to have to mod, so all in all a straght swop turbo/manifold. awesome. and a fabricated down pipe that was it
