Do I have to clock this turbo????
 

So in looking at how the turbo will mount to the manifold I have it seems to me that the oil lines are almost at vertical as is. Is this good or do I need to clock it? The drawing with the circle represents the angle the lines are at as is.

yes.



didnt even have to make the pics bigger :gay:

Would i work as is? Probably be just fine.

Having said that, I would clock it now while it's off the car. Do it.

at even 10° off vertical (which is the accepted maximum tilt) i was having bad oil drainage issues.....

considering you are about 150° off :gay: i'd assume it needs a good rotation....

if you need directions, look for the "diy projects" thread in the diy seciton.

Oh, look at that. :)


Yeah, you have to clock it if the feed's on the botttom..

Ahhh see I didn't know one was feed and one was drain I thunk either could be either ;) I am not very smart, glad I have help!

nope, feed is the little 1/8" threaded hole...the the drain is the bigger smooth-squared hole.

Where's the clocking directions in the DIY? I see the rebuild part but you didn't really detail the clocking part is it pretty self explanatory?

Yes. Loosen bolts and or snap ring, turn housings to appropriate position. Reassemble.

Make it 100% vertical.. take away any foults...
Make a new bracket for the wastegate.

Exhaust side: just loosen the bolds and turn...(be carefull for the blades)
1 Intake snapring: remove, turn, place back. (old style t25)
2 Intake bolds: undo all 2 turns, then turn. (new style t25)
