You just need to relieve the holes slightly... once offered up it's easy to see where some metal needs removing.
A one bleeding knuckle rating from me !

Seriously it's just a case of running a slightly larger diameter drill through it.... honest.
I used a hand drill and a vice, no cunning engineering needed.

Cheers Mate,
I,m happy with that ,I am more curious than anything . I am buying the turbo in the next week or so and Mark from lateral was telling me what needs to be done and to be honest i dont even know what one looks like ,the oil drain that is.
I know i will suss it out straight away I'm just gettin impatient trying to mentally do the swap beforehand. A bit sad maybe.

It's a bit of tube with a flat oval flange, with a small hole either side.... and the holes ain't quite far enough apart, or the correct diameter.....

No, just loosen the clamp on the turbo inlet, but I did when I fitted the silicon intake pipe... that was a b*gg*r to get in.
