Default 2wd/4wd alloy header tank query?

Are there any consequences running a 2wd alloy header tank in a 4wd Saff? The tank has only 1 large boss at the bottom, with 2 smaller bosses higher up as you know. Can i just connect 1 of these to my swirl pot & the other to the turbo, or do i need the additional larger 4wd boss?
Any views would be appreciated, cheers.

I think the turbo return will be to small on the 4x4 one so will need a mod, as you say the 4x4 is larger, IIRC there is a reducer avaliable for this very reason when people do the opposite and put a 4x4 onto a 2WD.

You can use the smaller 2wd type return for your 4wd's turbo, it won't cause a issue, and the other smaller one for the swirl pot.
