I have a seized TD04HL-14T that I removed from an engine I swapped for a customer's '03 XC70 and I'm considering purchasing a new cartridge for it. The problem is my '98 has the straight flange turbo so I would either need a new downpipe, or a straight flange exhaust housing for this 14T turbo. I have not been able to find any specs on the hot turbine wheel for either turbo to be able to source the housing. Do any of you guys know these turbos good? I'll post over at Turbobricks if I have to, but over there, those guys will berate you if you post a mistake LONG after you concede to your error so I just try to avoid them if possible.

Never mind, the exhaust housings are interchangeable.
