Default T28 ON S" ESCORT RS TURBO? ANYONE DONE THIS? HOW?

I've got a standard T3 on a S2 ERST I have come across a really decent T28 hybrid which i want to put on it.

Can anyone help?

Will it just bolt straight into the T3 exhaust turbine housing?
Is the flange that bolts into the exhaust housing the same size as the T3?

I know i may need to alter the compressor housing round to get actuator on etc.

Any help appreciated.

Just so anybody who wants to do this knows, NO it wont fit! the turbo housing is too small, could get a fiesta manifold and make exhaust fit it though.

won't you lose power by swapping to a small turbo but have lots of low down boost??

how much boost can the t28's run? if they hold 15 well I might consider this for mine

as said escort cossy t28 will fit t3 manifold but down pipe will need modding.nissan pulsar is the biggest t28 but the flange is t25

my friend has a t25 manifold on he's cvh he had it in a xr2 which
had a t25 from a rover 220 turbo the responce was good better than a t3
at the same boost
