They don't make turbo kits for swapped cars, you just use the kit that goes with the motor you have. You may have to modify intake piping or the downpipe.

^They make kits with the piping to match your car.

Or, you can just get any B series kit and adapt the piping. You have to be careful, though. If you have a GSR swap, it'll be hard to line up the upper charge pipe if you get B18B/B20/B16/B18C5 piping because of the location of the throttle body on the GSR manifold. The same thing goes for trying to use a GSR upper charge pipe on a B18B/B20/B16/B18C5.

It shouldn't be off by much. I know RevHard makes an "EG B-series" turbo kit. I'm not sure if it's a one size fits all type of deal or if they make one for the B18B, B18C, B16, B18C5, etc.

Check out this thread:

That's a pretty nice deal going on the RevHard kits.

It is pretty much a one size fits all deal, I guess rev-hard believes that not many people will keep a stock GSR manifold for boost anyways.
