Errr, well, "not much fitting" - I had one fitted and wasn't exactly... Errhum... OEM fitment I'd say...
It required sledge hammers, grinders, holesaws, arc welder, ally strip (lol) etc to make it "fit"...
I would never say that fitting one is a days work, it's multiple days of effort etc... If you want reliability, I wouldn't suggest it, you're going to spend more time ironing out issues, everyone will tell you this! A smaller, more modern wastegate unit will give you everything you're after without half the effort, unreliability etc...
If your car is a project, you don't mind replacing components, it's a bit of a laugh - go for it...
Also Piggy - to be fair, the early GT2052Vs are hardly a "bad" turbo! They'll still make more than enough power to cause issues with these engines!
