You're right, the RHB51 will be likely be a smaller turbine, with a smaller inlet diameter and I think a different flange and bolt hole pattern. Most likely wouldn't just bolt right up. The effect of all of this will probably be a sharper boost rise, but less top end because the smaller turbine will flow less gas. Hope this helps. Brian
