    I think you just need to turn the exhaust housing and change actuator bracket?

    Very doable

    yes as above.

    you need to align the oil return pipe on the turbo to the right place,then in turn, rotate the exhaust housing and then the snail.

    align them to meet up with your boost hoses.

    Didn't the 2WD exhaust housing have the mounting studs screwed into it . If it does then these will have to be removed from the housing as the 4WD exhaust manifold also has the mounting studs screwed into it.
