yes

 

make sure you swap over all of the oil/coolant lines and the oil drain. I think the intake cobra pipe might be a little different too. but yes it will work just fine with your stock tune.

 

So to recap:

i can swap the turbo and coolant lines and everything else with no issues and it will still run as it should

Cheers

 

Your car and original ecu will run okay with the td04, but boost maps are different between the 2 turbos. To get the most from the td04 (aero turbo) either swap ecu's (you'll need a tech2 to program it to your car) or have your original ecu tuned for the td04.

 

If i scrap the car i will be taking the ECU out the aero and in the future getting it put on mine.

How do i prime the turbo with oil Prior to fitting

 

No, just have the ecu on the new car programmed by a Tech II.
Prime by removing the fuel pump fuse and cranking the car for about 30 seconds in 10 second bursts.
When i do that I also disconnect the DIC but you dont have to.

 

Wont be able to do the ECU straight away but i will need the donor car out my drive ASAP thats why i wanted to know if i could fit the turbo and use the car untill i can get the ECU put on.

Thanks for the info about priming, seams fairly simple.

 

You want to make sure there's a film of oil coating the journal bearings before the engine is restarted. Pour some straight engine oil into the oil inlet and plug the return with your finger. Spin the wheel a few times, then let the oil drain out.

That should leave oil on the journals and prevent excess wear at start.

You'll be priming the entire engine with oil anyway by removing the fuel pump fuse and turning over the engine a few times...

Thanks mike, this will be my first time swaping turbos over. Hope all goes well. Is there a write up or guide i can follow to keep me right as i do the swap?

 

Well the party is canceled

went to view the car that was advertised for £300 but the guy wanted £500... NO WAY was i paying that
