Question JDM Aristo chargepipe with USDM turbos?

Hi I have searched and googled but really didn't find a good answer.
I am planning on doing a Aristo swap soon on my 95 sc300 5spd. I have been buying little things I might need for the swap and came across some usdm turbos locally(attached pic). As you can see in the pic they have no top hardpipes(chargepipes) and dumptube(side holes)? Question is when I get the aristo swap can I fit on the JDM hardpipes onto this USDM turbo setup? From the looks of the setup what else ould I need to bolt-up to the JDM engine?
I am also trying to avoid fabbing up a custom downpipe for the JDM flange abd would rather have non-ceramic turbos.

Charge pipes are the same the only difference is the bov are setup different. Downpipe would not work cause exhaust valves are shaped different.

heard its hard to find one made for a aristo. Most people fabricate the supra one to fit onto the aristo, or some modify the MK3 downpipe I hear but im not too sure

You got it! Aristo are rare in the states but I'm not sure it will work on a SC body. Muffler shops can fabricate a flange for it but I wouldnt really mess with Aristo turbo setup.
