In that pic the center cartridge is fastened down with a v-band clamp like most standard Mitsu turbos. For what its worth, Id strongly recommend not using the Volvo exhaust housing as you coudl get a 7cm^2 Mitsu exhaust housing for under $100. From the sounds of things, if you are wanting to do a headswap, build the block, you will want to eventually upgrade, would just make things easier with a Mitsu housing. You wouldnt be stuck with a $400 custom exhaust manifold that would only work on Volvo pattern turbos.
