Anyone know about turbos?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knew about turbos here and is it easy to change one from 270 bearing to 360 ones?

Cheers Eigdoog.

you'd probably be better going to RoverTech as they seem to be more people from the T-16's lurking on there.

but in theory it is all dependant on the brand of the turbo, and the way they mate up to 3 things:
a) exhaust manifold
b) oil feeds
c) downpipe

I have had the tubo on my derv upgraded* to take 360 degree bearings, and as a result it is OE fitment still.

* it has had more than just that doing to it, but that was part of the job
