Default Turbo angle

I had someone mention to me that my turbo angle on my build was too steep. This is my first turbo car and I have never heard this before but it seems like something important to consider. Any advice is much appreciated.

Journal bearings should be 14* or less

yup what he said. Subaru guys run them at angles like that with no issues, but if you can run them level then obviously that would be best

That's a big angle, and I've never seen a Subaru turbo run at such a steep angle other than a WRC car...but their turbos cost 5 figures.

I'd expect those to smoke like ****

precisions seems like a hit a miss too. (granted you only hear about the misses) that's increasing the "miss" odds
