Default proud new owner of 2 s40 turbos; have some questions!

I ventured out to my local junkyard today and picked up 2 turbos out of 2 2000 volvo s40's. They were the only turbos in the whole damn junkyard, so i felt very lucky to find 2 of the same kind of turbos, hopefully this will make my ghetto twin turbo setup easier.

both cars had a 1.9t. Well i have a lot of questions...

1. What kind of turbo is it?
2. can you find the flange from the exhaust manifold separately?
3. how about the downpipe flange?
4. is there a rebuild kit for it?


5. which lines go where? .....



6. Where do these little guys go? .....



7. what do you think would happen if i only hooked up the oil lines and ignored the water lines???




I KNOW THIS A LOT OF QUESTIONS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU.

The only thing I can tell you is that they are mitsubishi 12t's if you got them off of another s40...as far as rebuilds and such, not sure what exactly you're looking for.

You are for sure going to want to hook up the water/oil lines..
Without the water line attached, it will cook the bearing..as these turbos were built specifically to be watercooled.
This is different from an air cooled turbo, which just has oil lines.
