Need Help Today!!! Swapping Turbos On 2003 And 2006

sup yall. I have a 2003 evo with the stocker on it and my friend has a evo ix with the stock ix turbo, megan manifold, and megan o2 housing. We are going to swap turbos, manifolds, and o2 housings today. He has ordered a turbo kit and just needed something to ride on just in case he needs to drive it. (luckily he has two other vehicles). I am hoping/wanting to be able to take everything off in one piece.

Will I encounter problems fitting my stock turbo, manifold, and 02 housing on his evo ix?

What would yall suggest that I do about the oil lines? I know that i will need his oil lines to put his evo ix turbo on my car. Im concerned with my oil lines going on his car.

Is there anything/problem that anyone can think off with this swap?

All info welcomed. We will get started about 2pm EST. thanks yall

You can just bend the oil lines.

Yea, everyone keeps their own lines. My tuner, KevinD, actually used the stock lines for his 35R.

You 2 should be fine man. Just be carefull when bending that you dont pinch a line. And make sure the bolt holes for oil line up right. Just make marks.

As far as the 8 on his 9 minor if any bending.
