[Mk2] [Turbo] ct26 c20b diffferences

Hi all

i own a rev 3 turbo with a c20 turbo which has gone, i can get hold of a ct26 cheap so was wondering are the oil feeds etc all the same? and does anything need modding


i know its going backwards but this is just a stop gap until i can forge the bottom end and get a nice turbo

regards

Tony
