Default 4wd t3 to 2wd t3

Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a new stage 2 t3 turbo for my 4x4 saph cos tomorrow. I'm getting it at a bargain £200 so can't really say no its only done 1000 miles the thing I'm wondering is its off a 2wd Cossie. I'm sure looking at it u can unbolt the housings and spin them round so that it'll match my 4x4 configuration but I'm not 100 sure if it'll fit and whether the turbo will be differant in any way? Any help will be much appreciated, thanks Gary

If it's specifically for a 2wd, then the footprint has studs in it rather than the holes which a 4x4 turbo has.

Just wind the 4 studs out the footprint and run a 10mm drill through.

Then loosen off the core and housings and spin to suit .
Sorted

He can use the actuator bracket from the 2wd turbo you move that further round the front housing.

What's it matter bout compressor wheel when it's an uprated turbo anyway??!!

The compressor is slightly smaller on the 2wd iirc 55 trim as a 4wd is a 60? but should still be ok to use.
