Huge turbocharger dilemma...
Ok, here goes. I have a S5 TII block. I ordered a BNR stage 3 turbo upgrade. (For those of you that don't know, BNR takes the factory exhaust side of the turbo, and mates it to a bigger compressor housing via a custom made center piece)
I think the center peice they used to put mine together is for the S4, because the oil lines and coolant lines don't match up.
My question:
Because it would be easier and cheaper than sending the turbo back and waiting for a new one, would S4 lines (oil AND coolant) line up to my S5 block?
Thanks in advance guys...

Ont of the cooland lines that goes from under the OMP on the front of the engine to the bottom of the turbo is different...the flange is straight on the turbo like this oOo, while the flange on the like is offset like this °o°
sorry about the circles thats the best I could describe it.....the circles represent the two bolts and the passage

Oh, that's the oil line. Ok, what happened I think is that you got the wrong lines sent with the turbo. Those lines are actually bolted to the bottom of the turbo, and are removable. It sounds like they're the wrong series, but probably the right turbo.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The center sections are identical, the only thing that's different is the lines themselves. (But not the turbo side flanges, they should be the same.)
