Looking at this kit the turbo runs off all 6 cylinders, the turbo and manifold hangs on one side and then there is a pipe that runs off the other 3 cylinders that connects up to the turbo manifold, so really you have all 6 cylinders feeding the turbo and also the turbo is a t25 which is a bit big for 3 cylinders to run.

Also the only difference I can see between the FTO kit and the Galant kit is that the turbo faces opposite directions on the manifold, as the 6a12 on the galant kit on the passenger side of the engine bay and the FTO sits on the drivers side.
There also might be some differences with the intercoolers.

Worth mentioning that the UK kit comes from a company who have never fitted one to an FTO... make of that what you will but i know if i was buying a product it would be nice to buy from a company that has previously checked fitment, installation etc.
