dude regardless of the angle fitting u get, that turbo is gonna have to fill up with oil to reach the point of the drain, it needs to be facing straight down, i had the same setup, u need to clock the center section and just reatach the wastegate mount bolts to a new area, thats all, its not hard at all, or ur gonna need a new tirbo right away

Looks MUCH better!

I would still clock the turbo a little more vertical but that's just me, it will probably work fine the way you have it.

So, how did you end up breaking the turbo lose? Weren't you having all kinds of problems clocking that bitch?

clock that ---- already son. Ive been there with my oil drain... same issues, reclock it and get it back together the right way. Half assing ---- just brings more work down the road... i sooo know that for a fact. Anyway, do yourself some favors and put your compressor housing back on so you dont bend the fins on the compressor wheel and dont hit the compressor backing plate to knock apart the turbo to clock it, itll break if you hit it with any kind of real force.

that looks good enough. the pipings still look looks a bit too long. There is a kink on the piping. cut it shorter

Mines getting tapped tomorrow. It's going to get tapped in on a slight angle upwards to help with flow. The pan is aluminum so it's about 1/4 thick.

get a heat torch, or use someones or go to an exhaust shop or whatever

heat up the area around the bolts till its red. and turn them righ tout.

works like a charm you'll never struggle or break a bolt
