for those with 14b turbos
 

have you taken it apart before? if so, im in need of some help. i took mine apart a month or 2 ago and now when i put it back together i dont remember... the center cention and exhaust side where the clamp goes. was there a gap inbetween those? like the thickness of a dime... or are they supposed to fit flush together?

i can't seem to get it to fit flush, so i only assume there is supposed to be a gap there.

any help would be great, thanks :)

there is a pin that needs to be lined up on the exhaust side. it should fit flush then u put the ring on and tighten the locking nut on the clamp.

on the cold side have fun with that snap ring. pain in the aSS!

this is what i do to get that snap ring on, i grinded some needle nose to fit the holes, then put the ring in my vice compressed it alot, put the neelde nose in. pulled it out and put it in the turbo.

watch out cause if that ring comes off itll hurt like a ----- if it hits you.

good luck.

you say it fits flush? when i line the pin up and push them together, its got a gap the size of the thickness of a dime, and it wont go together anymore. but i figgered that the clamp with allow it to seperate...so it should be fine. the fins/wheels spin freely and fine, no odd noises etc. i was looking for a picture of the turbo with the clamp taken off, but not seperated. but i didnt find any. thanks for your help guys.
