Will the turbo and manifold from a TD42 fit a TB 42 . Are the manifolds the same?

If so what would you expect to pay for a set up?

I think the turbo manifold should fit but the turbocharger would be way to small for the petrol engine.

As well as quite likely being incapable of taking the exhaust temperatures of a petrol engine. Diesel exhausts usually run much less than 800C unless you want your engine to die while petrol exhaust can easily be 1200C.

Aftermarket extractor's are the same PN for both petrol and diesal motors, so the manifild should physically fit ..

I dont see why temp should be an issue either, the factory exhaust manifolds being cast mofo's.. The flow on the otherhand may be less than stellar for a large capacity 6cyl motor and turbo setup..
