That was me mate, did'nt think the 2.2 was a turbo, the turbo is 2.0l ain't it. Then I had a feeling I was wrong and deleted it.

Yeah how much would it cost to transplant a KKK turbo to whatever engine he is running. You gotta think about copmression, strengthened internals, sod all reliabilty etc etc

If your "mate" can't even get the engines right i deffo wouldn't advise sticking (or trying) to put a 2.0 Turbo in
