its my understanding that a Garrett turbo should be clocked so the center of it has the oil lines slightly off of straight up and down. should a precision turbo be clocked the same way?

This is only for water cooled turbos. All the new precision turbos, including their new ball bearing billet wheel turbos are not water cooled.

To begin with I used the studs that came with my FullRace kit, but they kept falling out. I changed them for bolts, and added Nordlock washers + copper nuts (locking nuts). Never had a single issue since. I have about 6000 miles on it now.

The nuts are like these, a little "squeesed flat" to lock.

Is Ferrera stuff worth the upgrade? I can get all supertech stuff for a full rebuild for relatively cheap.

Can any machine shop upgrade the head to accept oversized valve stems?
