Default turbo downpipe question

Ok I have a 97 ek coupe d16y7 turbo. I bought the car with a cheap egay kit already installed. It has to be removed asap.i have a z31 turbo t3 Garrett I was wondering if the the dp bolts are the same as the egay turbo considering there both t3. I know this isn't a z site I just cant seem to find info on it and by luck if someone might just happen to know that would be awesome... I know its not a big turbo but it will spool quickly I'm going for a very mild build as it is my dd
And please pardon the horrible Grammer Thank you

I think the z31 used a Garrett turbo with the typical ford 5 bolt turbine outlet bolt pattern. the last one I had was.

what kind of eBay kit? tubular ramhorn manifold? cheap wastegate and bov?

if so replace those parts as the manifold will crack, the wastegates fail and the bovs leak.

that turbo will definitely make for a fun street SOHC, just don't try to make more than 250hp as the stock rods are very weak and you could very easily give your block new ventilation holes lol

also what kind of engine/fuel management is on the car?

Mani already cracked new one on order now. I have vitara pistons( or however its spelled) and eagal rods but I still just want 10 12 psi if possible. Reliable with a lil kick is my goal nothing added to the fuel yet considering I had the car for a 2 months
Chipped p28 ecu is on the way and god I want the egay snail gone lol
