It might be entirely possible to switch the SC out for the new turbo, as how it's designed.

Wow!! That turbo is in a very very accessible area...

I believe it's a hot V and you'd have to reverse the exhaust out the intake and intake through the exhaust. IE swap the heads around

So no that won't work :/

^ correct.

Well, I can already see big turbo swaps. Matter of time before they stick out of the hood lol

In the flip side, aside from the no manual argument, it'll be probably a true "two weeks" till a replacement turbo becomes available. Well probably a mere couple months to a year vs three years

Skywagen's hood cutting skills would be very useful here, as more room will be needed for the bigger turbo setups in the hot V.

The B9's are going to make some serious power.

Not only would a person have to flip the heads around. But, I would also be concerned about rod-strength becoming a challenge for our 3.0L.

Loads of torque at low RPM = Rodkiller.

Our engines have a completely different powerband than that of the new 3.0L-turbo. And, I'd be shocked if the engines utilized the same rods.

Did you even watch the video you posted?

The exhaust side is in the valley of the engine. The heads are backwards from traditional. its not possible to put that turbo onto our engine.
