you'll need a different manifold to turbo adapter (Or cut off the TD06 flange and weld on a T3/4 flange) if you're using an adapter, or modify your manifold if you're using a tubular manifold.

depends if the new turbo is oil and water cooled or oil only. you may need to block off the water feed if oil cooled.
oil line should fit but it depends what your swapping from and to

Hello dawesey
Did you go to fully synthetic oil when running your Apexi turbo?
I read on one forum that it was recommended on oil only turbos.
