Default Turbo swap query

I'm currently in the process of swapping my TD04 for a VF28 turbo.

My question is, are the TD04 oil feed pipes and banjos etc compatible with the VF28 unit?

Or, do I need VF specific ancillaries to get the unit running?

The VF28 I am looking at doesn't have the oil feed pipes and banjos, so I'm hoping I can use the existing ones.

Right, before anyone tells me to use the search facility, I just have!

So, the banjo bolts on the Vf series have MUCH smaller oil holes for less oil feed....

If I use the TD04 banjo, will excessive oil flow to the VF28 cause it any harm, other than perhaps a longer spool up time?

I assume the actual oil feed pipes and water pipes are the same, banjos aside?

Although not an expert im led to believe the smaller hole in the banjo for the VF is to reduce the oil pressure to the roller bearings to a suitable level that wont cause damage.
