Check to bolt pattern on the probe exhaust manifold. It is matches your's it will bolt up. But make sure you have clearance in the engine bay where the turbo runs or you could run in to some problems.

But, a turbo and manifold is a far, FAR cry from running a turbo Z. You're gonna need a bigger MAF, bigger injectors, intake piping for it all, BOV, wastegate, and a tune. And your only gonna make about 200whp with that setup depending on how much psi. you run and anything over 8 or 9 on a stock Z will destory your tranny (guaranteed or you money back) and may toss a rod.

Don't mean to rain on your parade =/

Edit---
I miss read. With a turbo and DP, your probably only gonna be able to use the turbo and have to have a exhaust shop custom bend you a new DP. When is all comes down to it, buy a new turbo. Unless an old turbo is rebuilt it's pretty much a spinning grenade, waiting to launch a fin through your intake. Check it for shaft play, if there's little to none your ok.

The IHI turbo off the Probe (not prob) with mat up very well with a drilled focus manifold. You can find them on ebay for like 20-50 bucks. As for the downpipe, if you really want to use it you have to cut and weld it up but its pretty restricing so just go to an exhaust shop and have a custom one done. Good luck finding a flange to fit the stock 02 housing though. Its a bitch to find, I know use to stock them. As for the manifold, won't fit, throw it away.

I recommend reading this forum section. Obviously you really don't know much in the turbo department and a good couple hours reading will benefit you.
