Question Changing engines but keeping the same turbo.

Is it possible to put my turbo on my new engine? or do i need to get new parts and just change the turbo itself? which is the easiest cheapest way?

^What? ADHD FTW?

If you change the turbo to the new engine, and there was contaminates in the old engines oil the turbo will get damaged.

Thoroughly clean the CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly) or "Oil feed" with brake clean.

Then lubricated it with fresh clean oil. Use a new feed line. Change the oil in the engine.

Swapping one turbo to different engines without cleaning it, is like banging inner-city chicks with no rubber.

Why would you do that?
