the best way i know to explain it is this:

the outlet that is sticking straight up needs to be rotated towards you to i unbolt and rotate it via the bolts on the exhaust housing(the golden looking bolts) or the compressor housing?

when I did mine I had to swivel both,. to 1 get the oil passages line up, then the compressor outlet

mike25

if i just spin the exhaust housing...it wouldnt affect anything would it?

Sunburst_SS

if the compressor housing needs to be rotated, just loosen the bolts around it and sping it to where you want it to be then tighten the bolts back down......don't need to loosen the bolts on the exhaust side of the turbo

you do to get the oil passeges lined up correctly

Sunburst_SS

what, for the feed and return lines?

mike25

lol sorry for the confusion but which bolts on the compressor are you taling about? the ones that are brown or the silver ones on the compressor itself?

Sunburst_SS

the cold side (silver part) of the turbo is that part you were talking about rotating right? If so, then just loosen the silver bolts, and rotate the compressor housing (silver part) then tighten the bolts

mike25

yep thats right...the bolts farthest to the left in the picture

Sunburst_SS

well then yes...if that's what you need to rotate, the just loosen those bolts and rotate it. Like 06Black said about the oil passages...make sure you have the line port up on the top side, and the return line port on the bottom

Area47

they are 12mm bolts on the exhaust housing, and compressor housing. loosen them up. then rotate to your hearts desire. just turn them slowly due to the fact that you can damage the sealing surface

mike25

my return ports are side to side...if i just rotate the compressor itself it shouldnt mess that up should it?

Sunburst_SS

when you bolt the turbo up to the manifold, the return line should be facing down, and the feed like should be up at the top. Since the return is no a pressurized line, just works off gravity, it should be facing down

mike25

okso the square port needs to go down and the other up

13mm on mine man lol

Sunburst_SS

the feed port should have a threadded hole to screw a fitting into for the feed line...that needs to go up

mike25
