No its not, this doesnt use the standard core, its a garett dual BB core, its basically a GT3076/3071 that bolts straight up to everything except for dump pipe, however the dump/front is supplied and is 3" with a 2" wastegate pipe that plumbs in about 40cm down the pipe uses factory lines
no spacer plates, no aftermarket water lines, no intercooler piping changes, no intake pipe changes or any of that other crap required!
