You may have to modify your dump pipe and exhaust.

yeh ive got that part sorted, just worried about it not fitting cause the axt manifold sits so low. should be able to grind some of the mount away though.

I have an AXT manifold and I had to grind the engine mount.
Not hard really.
I don't have a 2860 but it is a Garrett with 3" intake so that is where the problem lies ;)
Mine is bolted straight to the manifold, no adapter yet it still needed the modified engine mount. Mine is T3.

yeah a 2860rs will fit on an axt manifold but you will need a flange adapter and cut the side out of the engine mount bracket that bolts to the block so the inlet pipe will clear i have a 2876r fitted to an axt manifold but it has a .60 front housing so its overall dimentions are the same as a 2860rs
