That is correct, however the turbine housing is part of the exhaust manifold, so if the bolt patten and ports line up, then your good to go. It's as small as you can get, there is a GT13 available, but it really isn't nessesary with the VNT. This VNT is mechanical and just needs a boost conection to get it working. You can even buy a good quality, inexpensive, Chinese version from CN Racing.

The SRT4 turbo is also part of the manifold and would not fit. It is also a bit bigger than the GT15.
