hey guys kinda wondering if someone could help me out I'm having a problem clocking my turbo. i never imagined this would be an issue but i got the Borg Warner EFR 7670 IWG and i cant line up the waste gate bracket with the oil feed line on top? wondering if anyone else had this problem or knows of a solution? can i flip flop the oil feed and return lines? or can i have it on a 45 degree or possibly less than that? the only way i see it being possible with what i have is cutting the frame and i wanted to steer away from that. It's a full race forward mount manifold. if anyone has a similar set up, advice, pictures or links to a thread this may have been touched on please let me know!
as far as i know you cannot flip oil feed or return lines. it does not have to be completely vertical though

Hey do any of you guys have your fuel injector wiring harness (which includes the wires for the MAP sensor, etc) routed underneath or through your intake manifold? I've heard of guys unplugging that piece of the harness and snaking it under the intake mani somehow to hide the harness away. I'd like to do that, and tried briefly, but it seemed IMPOSSIBRU!!! Is there some kind of trick to this?!?

I think the easiest way is to remove unclip/ unbolt any tabs that are mounting the harness to either the firewall or intake manifold at the rear, and then remove the alternator and water pump so you will have room to get your hand and arm under the intake manifold. Sounds like a lot of work, but you'll spend much more time trying to snake the harness past all that hardware...

Here is mine. Yes you pretty much just lower the routing of the wire. I don't remember 100%, but maybe the throttle sensors and the crank sensor are routed in the same bundle. I rerouted those under the manifold as well.
Whatever you do, I would tie up the wires somewhere so they are not hanging and adding stress where the wires enter the plugs.
