26/27 kkk onto Wagner rs2 evo em

[superior]

Looking at ordering the new em for my car going to go with the Wagner evo em ...The lad who is going to supply me a turbo a kkk26/27 hybrid had concerns that the 26/27 will not fit the Wagner evo em but will fit the rs2 em ??? Has anybody fitted the 26/27 straight to the Wagner em or is he right and there are fitting problems ??

Any info guys ?

I did it in the past.

Direct bolt on

But you'll need to modify the oil line a few...

I have a K26/7 hybrid on a Wagner EM and stock oil + coolant lines.

You will find the hot side is very close to the chassis but that's the same for any K26 based turbo. New engine mounts at the same time is recommended and will ensure you don't have any contact & resulting vibration through the chassis.

Search for my RS2 new lease of life thread for documented fitting.

I had problems with the compressorhousing catching on the rs evo manifold, i solved it by putting a thicker gasket between the em and turbo hotside. I also needed to lenghten the oil feed and returnlines.
