@chi11i. If you measure across the axle ends, then ask the retailer to check the cup size. I am pretty sure most cups are around 17mm so they will sqeeze and grip the hub end bolts when you tighten the screw.... so to speak. Also, check that the threads are not too exposed, so the cups do not grind off the opening threads when you need to remove bolts for maintenance.
Alternatively, try and fit your bike to a friends turbo from the same manufacturer, and then ask if the cups are the same as the "XYZ model" you just used.
