Had a Volvo K14 turbo and all fitings up in the loft for sometime - tentatively offered it to a few 2.4D owners as an upgrade but as no serious interest I decided I might as well give it a second look.

In order to get the pipe exits the right way round I'm going to flip the turbo on the manifold, this means the oil unions will be the wrong way round, so the core of the turbo will need to be 'clocked' - rotated back round the right way.
It came apart fairly easy....
Problem now is the wastegate is at the bottom of the turbo - not a problem in itself but the oil return line needs to be there as well.
