i did the same with my t3 to rotate the center section to make my oil drain legid.
usually they have lik bolts / plates that just pops off .
wat do u mean by keeps spinning ? the whole center section?

ibassez

theres no bolts that hold that in not the shaft the whole thing spins

Sorry to jack your thread fellow POLAK :P, but when you taped your fittings did that not get metal files and particles in to your oil housing? how do you wash that ---- out?

so your compressor is free spinning on the center section?

odd. try pulling that snap ring and take it out, then just put it back together. theres supposed to be a little tab that holds it in a certain position.

well time for a turbo that doesnt fit in ur hand

this is without the vband clamp holding together right?
most likely the plate cracked thats right under the exhaust wheel. (the heat shroud)

similiar to #16

if it looks good just tighten down the clamp.

man i fucked it up really really bad i pressed it down so hard i cracked number 13 its not a gasket or anything it part of whole thing with the oil and coolant fittings i fucked it all up i had this guy look at it and hes like you could replace that we dont have that part in stock but . then he checked it on the computer then he was like " we could order that for 450 dollars" i laughed and said nah ill pass. then i made a couple calls to my dsm buddies and im picking up a another one for free same guy that gave me my dsm 450s for free. thank god for dsm tuners then always have extra turbo parts laying around
