one bolt on the O2 sensor housing isn't going to line up, you're going to have to clock the compressor housing a little, and you will have to slot out the flange on your oil return fitting to work with the new turbo. Also the oil return line has to be bent slightly or just cut it off and clamp some braided stainless over both ends.

the water lines and oil feed should go right in, just takes some re-bending of the lines

later,

Paul
