I don't see why not... if we (Evo's) can do it, you guys (Z's) should sure as hell be able to.
Jesus this thread is old.
Of course you can get it to fit but the qeustion is what are you willing to modify to get it to work. I had a large Turbonetics T70 single turbo on my Z back in 05 but it took a ton of work to get it to fit.

Well, my car has a GTK850 in it now (which is basically a ported T72 housing). That's about the limit of what I think you'll be able to fit in that location without some modification of the radiator support. This was with a "tweaked" relocation of the turbo and some trimming to some of the useless brackets in there. One thing is that it had about the same clearance from the radiator as the 60-1 housing, which makes sense because the left side of the compressor isn't much different between the two turbos. I'm not sure how the physical sizing of the garrett housing stacks up but it might be close.

My point exactly. You guys have had to do a large amount of work to get it to fit properly. Yours was due to the tight tolerances you have towork with to get it to fit. You can vouch that it is no easy task. lol.

I was talking about the power output, not physical size.
