STS turbo hanging low to ground So we are almost done doing the install. The only problem is the turbo is hanging maybe 2 inches from the ground. Any suggestions?
ITs all in how you mount it. If you havent already welded the pipe, loosen both housings and rotate them and the mounting pipe up as far as it will go.
This may cause issues using the STS exhaust pipe as the tailpipe may hit the exhaust pipe. I would rather alter the pipe and have the turbo high.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Also we just ran into the pipe that mounts to the K-Member bolt not matching up to the bolt. It is off by a few mm. We tried losening other pipes and I guess will just have to do that all of the way back. Any other suggestions or similar occurances?

Oreilly's auto parts.

incase i hit some rough roads.
