It will fit on, but I don't think you'll get a tight enough seal with the jubilee clip on that larger TIP, IMO.  I think they'll be too much excess material, TBH.  Personally, I would sell it & buy the AGU one, as if you do upgrade to KO3-S down the line, then you will be able to stretch the AGU one over the new turbo. ;)

ps. Bob, I don't know why you had to remove the coolant line?? :huh:
I couldn't get that black metal bar in front of the turbo intake to move enough, so I just started undoing EVERYTHING!!  :grin:  Am I right in saying to add more coolant I just keep adding more into the circular tank?  I've been steadily adding more, as it keeps telling me it's low, even when it's half full!

Just been out in the car again for a small motorway run.  you can hear it sucking air into the turbo now, definitely spools faster, which is NEVER a bad thing!  :laugh:

Ok, couple of pictures!

Car on stands, work ready to start


Old TIP, and the airbox, begging to come out


Airbox gone


All these gubbins need to come out


Under the car, you'd need child's hands to get close to the turbo!!  Took me a while to undo the screw


Old TIP out


Compare them, behold the beauty of the Forge!


I've had easier to sort rubics cubes!!


Big black tube in the way of the turbo, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!


At this point I would have happily ripped the engine out if it would have helped


YES!!


Such a bugger to get it all connected in correctly


As Ramsey would say, DONE!
