I did a quick search and only found one thread.

But will a lml run a lmm turbo if I add the outlet sensor to it?

Can exhaust or turbine housings be swapped between them?

Running into clearance issues with the 45* outlet on lml turbo.

Tuning *should* be able to eliminate that sensor. In terms of controlling it, the OEM ECM can easily control the 04.5-10 tubocharger. You would just need the corresponding downpipe.

That's what wanted to confirm. I don't want to eliminate that sensor if I don't have to. Unless it's for that of which we do not speak, then it'll go.

Just needed to make sure it'll control it. Thanks!

They will go in and operate just fine, but they can be a pain to make everything fit up right. As I recall, the y-bridge and mouthpiece is a little difficult. The LML turbo sits a little further back, and the LMM turbo gets a little close. I think an aftermarket bridge has a little more room.

That explains why the lmm turbo fits much better then the lml.

I'll try some mock up, I've got a complete lmm to rob parts from I need be.

Thanks for all the replies!
