With the higher compression engine you definitely want to ensure your intake air is as well cooled as possible. The TT225 turbo is more efficient (meaning cooler) than the K03s in the 180. So if you're looking for 225-range power you must upgrade the intercoolers for that little turbo.

You need an adapter to put a 225 exhaust on a 180. The pipe on the 225 is larger diameter. Any competent exhaust shop can provide a reducer.
The 180 is actually higher compression than a 225 so theoretically with a big turbo you can make more hp. You would still need a bigger inter cooler.

Say, what's this "FrankenTurbo" thing I see there??
