Well i've never messed around with Garret Turbo's before only Mistubishi turbos my questions is this: I found a good Garret turbo but the center section needs to be rotated, do just "unscrew" the bolts on both sides of the turbo and then rotate the center section? (Dont flame I searched but couldn't find anything) Thanx in advance

 

Yea just loosened the bolts on the exhaust side and it should let you rotate the center part along with the compressor side. If you loosened the bolts on the compressor side it will allow you to rotate the compressor side in relation to the center. If you've loosened all of them and they are pretty far out already and still cant clock the turbo, try tapping it slowly with a mallet or a cloth covered hammer.

I hope this helps.

 

Just an FYI, there is a gasket between the compressor housing and the backplate that will tear when you break the seal. It is like a $.50 part, might want to pick one up.

"----!" so did I mess mine up? ahha I clocked my turbo a wihle back...

 

i had to beat the ---- out of mine with a hammer to get it to move

 

If you are having no problems, then you are probably ok. I just picked up a couple of them since they are 50 cents a piece just in case.

 

if i send you a dollar can you send me 1 of those seal things ? i have a k26 turbo
