Mate you'll need the coolant pipes, and I'm sure the banjo bolt for the oil feed is different size, the akward bit is aligning the oil return pipe back on, There is a breather I think on top of the gearbox that needs a little gentle adjustment as the turbo presses against it. Not a bad job, I'd leave at least 3hrs for your fist one.

After fitting my 20g, it was pointed out that one of the metal coolant pipes was touching the block where it joins the bellhousing and stopping the turbo from fully seating, which explained an up-pipe leak I had.
It need a small area of block to be chiselled off.
This would affect all newage cars - so do a trial bolt down of the turbo and see what it touches.
So long as the turbo comes with pipes it is a straight swap, but its worth using jubilee clips on coolant hoses as the std clips aren't very tight once disturbed.
Also go for a braided oil feed hose as it was far easier to reposition than the std rigid one.

butty it sounds like you had a 20g for a classic then mate because the water pipes are slightly different on a newage, and as for the oil feed bolt it should have a bigger one come with the turbo.
