I've been looking at the various K04 threads and the basic concensus seems to be to use the K04-015 which is designed as an upgrade turbo specifically for the A4 1.8T
I'm trying to work out what exactly stops us using the turbo from the TT225/S3 engine and ive had a look for some pics of the TT turbo.

That auction has some good images of the TT turbo and it seems to me the only issue is that the compressor housing is pointing upwards. Surely it would just be a case of loosening/removing the compressor to centre housing mounting bolts, and rotating the compressor housing round. It even looks like there are already suitable mounting lugs to allow the actuator to be positioned in the same place once the housing has been rotated...
Am i missing something really obvious here?
