    Any stock mount turbo, with a 2.4 inch inlet will fit.

    These incluse 18g, 20g, green/sz49/gt49, red/sz55/gt52, the blouche dominator series.

    ^^ Yes, sorry the red is only a 3" inlet.
    Any of the others I listed will work fine.

    You HAVE to make sure it's a 2.4" inlet, then there will be no TGV problems.

    ok..one more ???..do all of those turbo's require any other mods??(walbro 255,injectors?)..i have a stage 2 sti but have a perrin 2.4" inlet and i already have a walbro fuel pump...anything else needed,i would really like a turbo that doesnt require many more parts because i am on a tight budget

    I would say almost all of them would require at least a fuel pump and tune at the very least. I would get the above mentioned plus bigger injetors if going with 20G or bigger.
