Anyone running an OFI kit with ATI damper? Just curious if anyone is running the OFI kit with an ATI super damper. My turbo is hitting the bolts on the face of the damper and I was curious what everyone was doing.

Ok, just put the kit on my engine real quick for you and took some pics:
Thats a T6 S91 on there.
Are you sure your pulley is on there all the way? That turbo mount/spacer plate is installed and all the bolts tight?

DanZ28: How much clearance do you have if you turn the crank? My pulley is the one without the a/c pully. 917277
Says right in their instructions: Torque the 3 12-point screws to 28-30 ft./lbs.
They must be installed and torqued even if no pulleys are used.
I have a 1/2" clearance from the bolt to that outer most ridge on the turbo. Turning the crank over does not change that clearance, still plenty of room.
Don't want ask the obvious, but do you for sure have that turbo brace plate installed between the turbo and cross over pipe? I can see if it is not on there, the turbo would be pulled up closer to those bolts. The center of my turbo is basically lined up with the center of the balancer.

Here's a couple crappy pics of the bolt hitting. The support brace is in there. The turbo isn't tightened all the way down. It's hitting the bolt and can't go any further.
yeah, that doesn't look right.
If you have tried everything else like loosening the headers, crossover etc. to try a reposition, only thing left I can think of is either the pulley isn't all the way seated (I'm sure you checked that), or the crossover is a little off on the angle. Like Jake said, you might get away with a button head screw, but hope you never planned to run a turbo blanket. Have you tried to get a hold of Joel?

By looking at your pics...I wonder what is going on there. Can you take a pic of the headers and the crosover on the car and send it to me.
You say the turbo is not bolted all the way. Is it b/c its hitting the balancer or you just didnt tighten them yet.
I would like to get this figured asap.
