Yeah it sucks ass though. The compressor wheel isn't designed for the pressure ratios and flow rates associated with the gasoline burning 4G63.

The stock turbo is actually better than the "upgrade". Unfortunately there are very few options for reverse rotation compressor wheels that fit in that housing.

Soon enough there will be castings for the exhaust housing to allow Garretts to bolt up to the stock mani, but for now, upgrading the mani with the turbo isn't such a bad option provided you get a decent cast manifold that won't crack.
