Well seeing your car already has a TD05 16G fitted as standard there was no point in buying another one unless it blew

think he means the tdo5 front entry ? u can attatch a 90 degree pipe to the inlet to make it like the original setup m8 but dont use a silicone 90 degree bend unless its reinforced as a standard 90* silicone bend will collapse under boost

Yes but his car already has a TD05 16G, even if it is a 90 deg one, there is no real point in changing unless there is a fault with the original.

the internals of the front entry tdo5 im sure are slightly different from the original are they not ??all being the same in a sense they ARE still the same turbo lol wonder if the guy meant he got an 18g not a 16g lol
