question, i know how to clock my compressor housing, but i need to be able to clock the turbine side so that oil inlet and oil outlet or vertical, right now, there is a slight angle to it, and id feel more comfortable with them being perfectly up and down??

can it be done??or am i strictly limited to the bolt holes on the turbine side??

 

Don't you clock it the same as you would the compressor housing?

 

seemed to me that i couldnt even remove all the bolts, since two of them are under the corner of the center section. but the ones i removed looked like they went "into" the housing itself, through the bracket

 

Just loosen the bolts. They don't have to be removed. If for some reason you do need to remove them, loosen them all, clock it to where you can access the ones you couldn't get out before, then remove them.

 

no **** huh, just didnt look like that would work on the turbine side, of course, i admit i ddint get to into it, since i had someone here that was getting busy, and needed the turbo to mock up the flange, lol

 

Yep, as long as it's like mine and 90% of all the other turbos out there, should be just like the cold side.

 

well, when i take my fat *** down stairs next, ill give her a go, lol

 

It's tough to get a wrench in there sometimes, I've had to grind down a wrench to fit in between the bolt and the fittings on the center section of the turbo. If it's a used turbo it might take some liquid wrench and some finesse to get the turbine side to move.

 

i had to tap my housing with a rubber mallet to get it to turn when my tc78 was new. it was TIGHT

 

thanks guys, ill give her a shot tonight, it is brand new, so hopefully it wont be to bad.

 

just remember let me know when you plan to go bigger...

i will be sitting here for the next 4 1/2 months while deployed watchin your build so i know where your running it to problems...
