rotateing oil inlet
 

Am i right in thinking that to change the position of the inlet and the return, all i do is loosen the bolts on the turbo and rotate it?

Thanks Matt B

Your thinking is correct Matt B. It's called "clocking" the turbo. Just loosen the bolts that clamp the housings to the center cartridge and you'll be able to rotate the housing. You may need to spray the bolts and center cartridge down with WD40 before loosening the bolts because they can be pretty tight and you don't need any broken bolts.

thanks

And be sure to loosen all the bolts and make sure it comes out evenly... cause if you dont youll put to much pressure on one side of the shaft.... and you could damage your exhaust fins.... and that would suck...

u dont touch the shaft nut when clocking a turbo ;)

question, can you just rotate the oil part, i need the exuahst side and the compressorside to stay in the exact same position, is this possible?

Re:rotateing oil inlet
 

:-\ not really... to rotate just the center piece, you need to loosen both housings. Just remember what position the housings are in, and rotate the center piece. I know with my turbo, both the housings were out of position, so I needed to move them both anyway.

what if i need to rotate the intake side of the turbo?..can do i also loosen up all the bolt, rotate the housing and bolt it back?....
