Re: nedda know
 
the 57 trim referrs to the major and minor diameters of the compressor wheel. (it is the ratio between the two) It has nothing to do with the size of the housing. I think what you are referring to is the a/r. Even if it was drastically larger, it should still fit. Unless the kit was designed for a t3. Which way are you facing the compressor housing?

thats most likely your problem. It probably has to face the drivers side. ---- ac, your downpipe will be alot easier to make anyway.
