im looking at this thing and im starting to wonder about the oil supply
it looks like the drain is on top (bigger hole) and the feed is on the bottom (smaller hole) also, it looks like the internal waste gate might be taking up to much room to fit in oil line flange. this damn thing is starting to worry me. it is a T3 garrett internally set. .42/.48 with a 60 trim. i got the turbo off of evay from the seller down2turbo. when i get home from work ill try and get up some pics. this thing is tarting to give me a headache

you will probably have to clock the center section

you just have to rotate or clock the center section so that the oil return is at the bootom. check the FAQ it shows you how. when the oil return is on the bottom, there'll be plenty of space for oil lines.

what motor r u using this on?

raiden571

its a d16z6. will this alter my internal wastegate? i got pictures if someone would be nice enough to host them for me. also, the turbo is freshly rebuilt and i dont want to sound like a ***, but i dont wanna ---- p the finish on the turbo by putting it in a vice, could i just use hand tools to do it?

you can use hand tools aka hammer. just slow tap it with a hammer covered with cloth or a mallet. It will allow you to clock it. Before you clock it make sure to remove the bolts holding down the internal wastegate and loosen the bolts.

loosen all the bolts and just rotate the housing the waste will totally unbolt and bolt back up in another spot.

can i rotate the cold side too? i loosen two of the bolts on my bed with just hand tools and it all moves pretty well, just havent went all the way yet

robs99si

yeah you could rotate any of the sides. aslong as the oil drain is pointing down.
