Default Hmmmmmmm Wtf?????

Ok installing OFI Kit. I bought a turbo that had the rounded bolted exhust housing. Well I got it swaped to Vband.

Here is how its sitting. Joel told me it would move but I don't see how. The turbo is a Tnetics T76 Qtrim.

If it does not rotate I think the exhusting can be unbolted and moved around but I want to get some feedback before I mess something up

Are you asking about the oil feed and drain? If so all you have to do is loosen the bolts and rotate it. Am I missing something here??

Loosen the bolts on the exhaust housing and rotate the compressor and center section to line up your feed and drain almost straight up and down. Then if you need to adjust your compressor a little, loosen those bolts and rotate the compressor housing itself until it's where you want it. By looking at the pics this seems to be what you are after.

LOL, the turbo is clocked wrong...its junk might as well just send it to me
J/K


Bolting up all this stuff can be overwhelming at first and its easy to over look such a simple thing isn't it. It can be clocked as state above. Good luck with the rest of the kit install and keep posting pics.
