a t28 is a direct bolt on, straight swap man

No offense, but didn't you do a little research before buying the part for your car? If you would have searched you would have found the answer within 2 minutes. But yes, it is a direct bolton, though the inlet on the hotside is 7cm whereas your stock exhaust manifold is only 6cm.

Port your manifold. All new gaskets are recommended. That means the manifold to turbo, the turbo to o2 housing and 4 crush washers for the water pipes. Best to replace the manifold studs and manifold to head gasket. All that would be ideal but I've done swaps without changing any of those things. Many shops won't warranty the turbo unless it's fed with a new or like new ss oil line. I don't know how they'd go about proving that you used your stock line but I doubt an ss line is absolutely necessary. Good luck.

Does the T28 require higher oil pressure than the T25?
