Hell no
They are Variable Geometry Turbos. They might fit but with fabrication.
I guess you can say anything will fit with the right fabrication but I'm about 99% sure nobody makes adapters for them so at the least you would need to fabricate adapter plates and downpipes.
VGT's would be great. Problem is, only Porsche seems to make them that work on benzene (petrol) engines. And you could practically buy 2x MHI 16g's with cash leftover for the cost of 1.
For what it's worth, MHI, Garrett and Honeywell are all working on producing more variable geometry turbos, but it will likely still be a while before there is any real data or prices.
Honeywell's is due out by the end of 2014 IIRC.
