My stock turbo is starting to die, so i found a 16t on ebay thats out of an S70 with 55k miles on it. Got the new turbo in today and there is ZERO shaft play on this thing.

My question is the oil and coolant line fittings....are the fittings going to be the same, and in the same location as they are on the stock turbo? I am assuming they would be since they are both in the TD04 family, but I want to make sure. Also, the turbo i got came without the wastegate solenoid on it. can i swap mine over from the old turbo?

Thanks!

 

Yes, they are an exact swap. I did this exact same thing on my 850 when the turbo went.

 

good to know. that will at least make the swap a lot easier. I'm putting on the exhaust at the same time, so im hoping i dont run into any issues.

I also kinda wonder if I will notice any perofmance increase with this turbo. Yes, I know it wouldnt be like going to an 18t or 19t or holset or anything, but I'm assuming there will be a little bit of an increase...

 

at stock boost no, but if you boost higher than stock, then slightly.. yes.
