Blank the dump valve , clock turbo , oil return adapter and mount actuator.
Unsure about oil feed as haven't got that far myself yet.
You got any play in turbo shaft ?

Just fit the entire unit in place of your T2, matey use the parts of the T2 to get it fit properly such as the water feeds & banjo bolts. You will also need to source the following:

Oil drain adaptor for the tomcat as different to the T2 (ebay or turbo supplier),
Oil feed adaptor as you will notice the core is a different thread to the T2 (Pirtek),
Rotate the compressor housing,
Drill & tap the compressor housing for the actuator bracket to be re-positioned,
Remove and blank of the re-cir dump valve,

Run no more than 1bar boost as if it is in standard form it will not like anymore as they are normally of higher mileage cars which have a had a pretty easy life and they have no 360 bearing.

That's the best info I found under tomcat help .
