TD05 90 convert to front entry?
Is converting a 90 degree TD05 from an early car to front entry on a later car as simple as a adding a suitable Samco type hose or is there more to it than that?

More to than that.
The turbo compressor housing has the 90 degree bit. It's either replaced with a later housing or the original is cut and machined.

Had a feeling it wasn't going to be that simple. Is it possible to buy off the shelf housing suitable for the job, or any recommendations for someone to cut / machine one? Cheers

I bought a TD05 fe cover from Andy Forrest before Christmas, was a simple job to fit once the large circlip had been wd40'd.

Ah, what sort of ball park figure was it? Wondering which would be more cost effective (read cheaper), new housing or getting mine butchered.
