black_widow87 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi guys, right basically iv just bought myself a t61 turbo with a few other bits and pieces including oil feed/drain, 4" downpipe and intake. Im hoping to swap this with my previous turbo which, shall i say, bitten the bullet. How hard will this swap be if i were to attempt to do myself? Im quite handy with a spanner and dont mind bloodying my knuckles up abit, but am i beng a little bit ambitious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 If the turbo is the same size and has the same fittings it will be an absolute doddle. No harm in trying anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm in trying anyway Its not quite the same size but only fractionally bigger. The kit i bought was previously used with an xs power manifold. Am i right in saying everything should match up as i have an xs manifold on my car at the moment? Iv got an option of fitting a cast manifold, but obvioulsy this will need some major fabrication the the downpipe as it fits differently.
